Tom Moran: The GOP’s Big Lie at the Core of the Government Shutdown
Democrats deny GOP claims as Congressional Budget Office estimates 1.2 million people face subsidy loss under current law changes, mostly excluding undocumented immigrants from benefits.
- With Congress at an impasse, Republicans claim Democrats are causing a shutdown to fund 'free health care for immigrants in the country illegally,' a message amplified by Vice President JD Vance and others last week.
- The Democrats' budget proposal seeks to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies and roll back Medicaid cuts in the Republican tax cut and domestic policy law signed in July.
- Undocumented immigrants are largely barred from federally funded health programs, and the Congressional Budget Office estimated 1.2 million people would lose subsidies under eligibility restrictions.
- Applications for Social Security benefits won't be processed and soldiers and sailors won't be paid, while hospitals across the country must provide emergency care with federal reimbursement for some low-income immigrants in the country illegally.
- Sen. Patty Murray of Washington warned that undocumented immigrants remain ineligible but millions of American citizens could face doubled premiums next year, while Medicaid is viewed favorably by 80%.
