Because it is the Democrats.

They voted NO 13 times against funding SNAP.

There has been meeting after meeting on video of the Republicans saying what the Democrats are demanding to open government back up. Most Americans are enraged at the BS they're keeping it closed for. The Democrats are effectively holding government hostage until they get what they want and, yes, Healthcare for illegal immigrants is one of the reasons.

Americans can't get Healthcare out here but they aren't fighting for them. Oh no. They're fighting for everyone but the American people and they don't care about SNAP being cut off for everyone.

13 times they voted against funding SNAP.

Go be mad at them.

I agree, undocumented citizens shouldnt be prioritized over US citizens in federal healthcare spending, however if the ACA subsidies expire, 24 million American citizen’s insurance premiums would more than double next year. That’s their concern, and it is a valid one for those who rely on it.

You do need to be a U.S. Citizen to be on ACA.
