GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

Illegals illegals illegals. MAGA is obsessed with illegals.

Here's an example of what Republicans are going to cost working Americans in Ohio if the GOP gets its way:

View attachment 67592164
Tripling health care costs for a family of four making $70k. Doubling costs for a retired couple making $50k.

Bankrupting red state American families to own the illegals. And, I guess, the libs.
 
NBC clearly doesn't know what's going on.

Who knew "affordable care" was so unaffordable that it bankrupts middle class families?
 
Sorry that is absolutely true. AS USUAL Dems and the MSM press are lying their ass off. Dems tried to add in aid to illegal aliens back in. Dems continue they're infatuation with illegal immigrants
Great, then you should be able to show how much money the federal government pays for healthcare for illegal aliens.
 
In California any free healthcare for undocumented residents is from state funds, not federal.

As DC well knows.
Plus, one of the arguments from the GOP concerns payments for emergency room visits. Really.

Nice try. YOU should be able to disprove my assertions. Why do you lefties love illegal aliens so much?

<laughing>

Thanks. I don't have to disprove assertions you can't even prove. That was easy.
 
The "affordable care" part is what the GOP is eliminating. Hence care becoming unaffordable.
Well, everything is "affordable" when someone else is paying for it! 😅

And when a half century of steady cost growth stops.

But never fear, after a decade and a half the GOP is finally on the verge of achieving its goal of starting it back up again.

The ACA makes it affordable. Republicans make it unaffordable.

It's not complicated.
 
Who pays for the subsidies?
You and me.

Gotta problem with that? Then move to a country that doesn't provide health care to every citizen as their right. Some place like...gosh, it's hard to find any other than the U.S. So, maybe move to a deserted island.
 
By “mislead” you mean LIE.

Trump and his GOP are LYING.
 
Comes to about 0.32¢ per year for every man, woman and child in America. That's why Trump and Republicans shut down the government? You have a problem with that? I'll pay your 0.32¢ for FY 2026.
Update: I apologize for my mistake, it's actually about $2. $18 billion federally over a 6 year period for all non-citizens, where undocumented aliens are about 23% of non-citizens.

A lot of creative manipulation in the axes there.
 

GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'​


WASHINGTON — With the government shut down, Republicans are centering their message on a simple argument: “Democrats are grinding America to a halt in order to give illegal immigrants free health care.”

That message, from a new ad from the National Republican Congressional Committee, has been echoed by GOP lawmakers and the Trump administration in recent days.

Vice President JD Vance claimed on Fox News that the GOP's “big beautiful bill” turned off health funding for “illegal aliens.”

Typical lies from the third-reich-wing.

The most often repeated and the worst lie from the GOP since Trump came down the escalator. It's just flat out false.
 
The unprecedented 15 years of flat costs is all that matters there. Soon to, at long last, finally be ended by the GOP.
The costs weren't flat.

And we've already seen a sizable spike in 2023/2024 - thanks, no doubt, to the DNC.
