Speaker Johnson: There Are ‘More Than 1.4 Million Illegal Aliens on Medicaid’

[Hol]

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there were “more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid.”

Johnson said, “We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. There‘s a lot of misinformation out there about this.”

He continued, “The numbers of Americans who are affected are those that are entwined in our work to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse. And what do I mean by that? You got more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid. Medicaid is not intended for non-U.S. citizens. It‘s intended for the most vulnerable populations of Americans, which is pregnant women and young single mothers, the disabled, the elderly. They are protected in what we‘re doing because we‘re preserving the resources for those who need it most.”

And yet elderly citizens on fixed incomes, often very low fixed incomes, are being denied and/or kicked off of Medicaid?!!!

I did not know that except that Medi-Cal is threatening some denials

Are you referring to the work requirement?

No, I'm talking about non-citizens, including illegals, being given preferential treatment over citizens. Citizens being denied benefits, while non-citizens are given benefits. And benefits being cut because too many people need the program, but this would not be the case if illegals weren't provided benefits.

Medi-Cal is California State Medicaid program. According to its website, "Immigration status does not matter."

In CA it never does for anything. Of course in NJ (the CA of the East Coast) it's almost as bad.
