After Years of Denials, the Press Finally Admit

If you wait long enough, the press will at all times admit conservatives had been proper all along. The catch is that they’re going to only do so when they assume they’ll shift the narrative in their favor. That’s precisely what’s occurring relating to unlawful immigration and government-funded healthcare. 

For nicely over a decade, the official line has been to denounce anybody on the proper who says unlawful immigrants obtain taxpayer-funded healthcare as pushers of “disinformation.” Who might neglect Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouting “you lie” during one of Barack Obama’s State of the Union addresses, only to be denounced by every mainstream press outlet in existence? 

Well, his time of redemption has arrived because with the latest GOP reconciliation package deal cutting Medicaid funding to unlawful immigrants, the press wants a reboot.

Wait a second. I’ve been assured that unlawful immigrants do not obtain Medicaid and that the mere suggestion is a wild-eyed, loopy conspiracy idea. Was I lied to? The reply is yes, we had been all lied to. 

Things modified for Maria and many others in latest years when a handful of Democrat-led states opened up their health insurance coverage packages to low-income immigrants regardless of their legal standing. Maria and her husband signed up the day the program started final yr.

“It changed immensely, like from Earth to the heavens,” Maria mentioned in Spanish of Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. “Having the peace of mind of getting insurance leads me to getting sick less.”

At least seven states and the District of Columbia have supplied protection for immigrants since largely 2020. But three of them have executed an about-face, ending or limiting protection for a whole lot of hundreds of immigrants who aren’t in the U.S. legally in California, Illinois and Minnesota.

You have to perceive the recreation being performed right here. What those states have been doing is utilizing matching federal funds to help prop up their state-level Medicaid systems. Through a provision of Obamacare, they’ve then expanded those systems to embody unlawful immigrants. All the while, they’ve maintained deniability by enjoying the semantic recreation of insisting they only have access to the state-level program, even though federal funds subsidize it. 

It’s a very related scheme to what Planned Parenthood has executed. Whenever somebody factors out that the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funds from going to abortions, the left-wing response is at all times that those funds are earmarked for different companies. But money is fungible, and if you prop up one half of an entity, that permits them to manipulate the supposed guardrails. Whether any federal funding goes down on a spreadsheet as having “paid for this specific abortion” is irrelevant when the money helps keep the abortion mill open. 

But with the latest revisions to Medicaid funding handed as half of the reconciliation package deal, Democrat-led states merely cannot make the math work and are being compelled to finish eligibility for unlawful immigrants. Not that the math labored before. California, for instance, was already dealing with a $12 billion deficit, an consequence Republicans warned would occur. Naturally, they had been lambasted and ignored by the press at the time.

In short, what we’re seeing right here is a clown-nose-on, clown-nose-off routine of epic proportions. We’ve gone all the manner from “illegal immigrants don’t receive Medicaid” to “you are so cruel for ending Medicaid for illegal immigrants.” The fact was at all times on the market and apparent to anybody wanting for it, but the press had been more involved with partisan video games than being sincere.
