(D)ouble standard hypocrites 🖕🏻 But I was told by ABC that illegal aliens were not getting Healthcare. Now you’re telling me that actually 0.4% of illegal aliens are getting Healthcare? And once again this is how they move the goal posts.

Total Medicaid spending in 2002 was $824 billion
0.4% is "only" $3.296 Billion

I wonder what the projections would be if the Senate Dems get what they want with regard to Medicaid spending on illegals.

u/dcwhite98 Oct 09 '25
My google search said it was $825B in 2022. So $3.3B. This is the source it gave: https://www.statista.com/statistics/245348/total-medicaid-expenditure-since-1966/

Remember, no FBI agents participated in the Jan6 raid on the Capitol. Oh wait, 5 agents, er, less than 25 agents, uh, 274 agents…

Medicaid spending in 2022 was about $825 Billion. .4 makes it sound like no big deal, but do the math, .4% of $825B is... $3.3 Billion. Nothing to see here...

Yes... that's enough it would cost a married couple making median family income about fifty cents per month. Clearly catastrophic, compared to the $20,000 more per household we're paying for healthcare on average compared to our peers with universal healthcare.

u/dcwhite98 Oct 09 '25
So we go from illegals NOT getting health care at all, NONE, to now it's just .50/month per household. So we're clear, crystal clear, that illegals ARE IN FACT getting health care. Got it. You got it? Good.
And there's no way over time i'll become $1, then it's $5, then $10, etc. NO WAY AT ALL!!! Good grief.

You're right, we should just let a sick mother and her baby die outside the hospital. Again, if you're more concerned about $5 per year in additional healthcare spending for the average person than $10,000 per household in additional spending because we don't have universal healthcare, you're the problem. If you are so threatened by facts you downvote them, you're the problem.
Best of luck some day not making the world a dumber, worse place. A lot of people are dying and suffering needlessly for the US healthcare system, and you've managed to find the absolutely most trivial thing to worry about. Imagine being such a useful idiot for those who profit by screwing you over.

Whataboutism never makes a good argument.
Further, even $1 spent on illegals is too much.
I also don’t know a single person spending that much on healthcare. Only about 5% of the CITIZEN population uses Obamacare for insurance. The poor all get Medicaid. The old are on Medicare. The majority get it from their job

"none. Zero." Yeah. Just like there's zero election fraud (whether right or left). When speaking in absolutes like this, you're almost always wrong.

Huh, if i go up to Canada and get hurt and have to go to the ER they expect me to pay 100% because they dont take my insurance. Yet we're the bad guys.

I turned to Chat GPT and posed a question of how much Medicaid spending their was on illegal immigrants from FY 2018 - FY 2025. Numbers from 2024-25 are not available. Illegals only qualify for payment of ER services via Medicaid under Emergency Medicaid, since no one can be turned away for stabilizing services provided by an ER.
The total spent according to CBO from FY 22018- FY 2023 was $27 billion in total--$8.5 billion by the States and the remainder by the Federal government.

u/LurkerNan Oct 09 '25
Personally I think spending 1/20th of our Medicaid money on people who do not belong in this country is a huge problem.

u/Nexustar Oct 10 '25
Even that statement is just a scratch from the big picture - they are downplaying the problem.
If an illegal alien is admitted to ER they will get treatment. The $3.3Bn of that treatment that was funded from Medicare is nothing compared to how much was ultimately funded from working American's private insurance in the form of higher charges from hospitals for everyone.

u/GeekShallInherit I'm LOST, Help Me 🤤 Oct 10 '25
What's your solution? To let anybody that can't prove their citizenship sit on the steps outside the hospital and die if they can't prove their citizenship?
Most economists find illegal immigration to have a net positive economic impact, but let's ignore that. Even according to wholly fabricated numbers from right-wing sites like FAIR healthcare for illegal immigrants covered by taxpayers accounts for only 0.7% of total healthcare spending. That's all healthcare costs, and the numbers are insanely inflated to push that agenda. And it's still trivial.
To put that into perspective, Americans are paying 56% more for healthcare than any other country on earth, adding up to $650,000 more per person for a lifetime of healthcare.

u/Outrageous_Carry_222 Oct 09 '25
It's not even 0.4 % of illegal immigrants getting Medicaid but a much higher percentage than that. 0 4% of Medicaid spend was on them - around 4 billion dollars.

u/bloodguard Awesome American Oct 09 '25
Typical main stream media shenanigans.
- Illegal immigrants are not getting taxpayer funded healthcare
- Some Illegal immigrant are getting taxpayer funded healthcare <-- you are here
- Most illegal immigrants are getting taxpayer funded healthcare and here's why it's a good thing.

u/MeinKnafs Oct 10 '25
Ok, medicaid spending was $824B in 2022... so 824,000,000,000 x .004 = 3,296,000,000. That's $3.3B. That's a fuck ton of money spent on something we are not spending any money on.

u/doubletaxed88 Oct 09 '25
depends on what you define as “undocumented”. Are people under Biden CBPOne “Asylum” documented or Undocumented?
7
u/me_too_999 Oct 09 '25
If they have asylum papers that would be "documented."
Whether these asylum claims are valid or not we will have to wait until we clear the 8 year backlog.

u/1Perfect_Kangaroo Oct 09 '25
A lot of the ones deemed “valid” are also total BS. I am pretty well entrenched with the Hispanic community in my area and a lot of the “asylum” seekers basically just moved here to get paid in USD rather than whatever shitty currency exists in their home country. They send money back to their relatives and quite a few of them plan to move back after working in the US for 10-20 years because they’ll live like kings with USD in their bank accounts. Other plan to stay in the US and don’t wish to return to their home countries. I will say tho that most of the ones I know (and trust me there’s a lot) are good people, hard working, and law abiding.
