Yes, illegal aliens are currently receiving Medicaid benefits

So basically, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a growing state (even for illegal aliens) is concerned about kicking illegal aliens off Medicaid rolls. The media and the left always like to lie that illegal aliens don’t receive any such benefits.. But if you use a simple AI tool like Grok on Twitter/X, you will find out that in fact, illegal aliens do get Medicare.. We’ll start in the shithole known as California, aka Newsomville.

Yes, California provides Medicaid (Medi-Cal) to undocumented immigrants. As of January 1, 2024, the state expanded Medi-Cal eligibility to include all income-eligible adults aged 26–49, regardless of immigration status, following earlier expansions for undocumented children (2015) and adults aged 19–25 and 50+ (2020 and 2022). This makes California the first state to offer comprehensive health insurance to all undocumented immigrants through Medi-Cal, covering approximately 700,000 adults in the 26–49 age group. Eligibility is subject to income limits and California residency requirements. Federal law prohibits federal Medicaid funding for undocumented immigrants except for emergency services, so California funds this expansion primarily through state resources, though some reports suggest the state uses budget mechanisms to draw federal funds indirectly. The estimated cost is $3.9 billion from the state’s General Fund from January 2024 to June 2025, with annual costs projected at $6.5–$8.4 billion. Critics argue this strains the Medi-Cal system and diverts resources from legal residents, while supporters claim it reduces poverty and improves health outcomes, citing studies that show undocumented immigrants use fewer healthcare resources than citizens.

And if you think this is limited to just California, then you are dumber than AOC.
