President Biden's administration has approved a modification to the Affordable Care Act in Washington State that will allow illegal immigrants to enroll.

Xavier Becerra, secretary of Health and Human Services, speaks during a news conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.

"Washington has requested a waiver in order to expand access to qualified health plans, stand-alone qualified dental plans, and a state affordability program to Washington residents regardless of immigration status," the HHS and Treasury said in a joint statement. The statement continued,"The waiver will help Washington work towards its goals of improving health equity and reducing racial disparities by expanding access to coverage for the uninsured population through the state Exchange, all the while not increasing costs for those currently enrolled."

Woke BS

Bend over tax payers. Here it comes… dry this time.

But not legal citizens...of course

stephan36144594 I really think that these decisions are made just to piss people off. I wonder what America will look like in 2 years!

Do these people get that there are Americans who can not get health care, but we are going to give it to illegal aliens? WTF has happen to our country.

Yet American families have no health insurance, Babbling Biden making Americans 2nd and America a 3rd world country

I am an American, paid taxes—can I get free insurance too?

I have been in the medical field for 20 plus years to present guess whom has no health insurance the nurse that takes care of all these person..this is unfair..all medical persons should be given free medical for their dedication to the health of all humans.

Taxpayers should vote on that.

Does the insurance include dental implants

This needs to stop!!🛑🛑🛑

Not citizens….

When do we the people stop paying taxes to support the rampant overspending of our government? I’m ready, who else?

If this doesn’t say how fd up the left is. Nothing ever will.

No

Hello world. Free Healthcare in the US for anyone who can get here. Come one come all, at US tax payer expense of course. BS!

I now identify as illegal

At the tax payers expense🙄 you'd think more people would be upset

How is this even legal giving tax payer funded insurance to illegals?!!

🤦🏻‍♀️

Our country is fucked

What BS we have Americans that have no health insurance

Maybe you should ask the American people about this? It's their money you are spending, not yours.

WTH is wrong with these clowns?

What is the point of “citizenship” now? It doesn’t seem Ike something that matters anymore

Free health insurance for the illegal immigrants, but taxpayers have to pay. How do the taxpayers feel about that? Keep up with the freebies and the flood of migrants will never stop.

Who will pay for this?

I wonder who’s going to pay for it?

Ridiculous

There it goes again, taking care of everyone except the American people with OUR money 😒🖕🏼

I guess it’s better than them getting it for free.

Health equity to illegals? Do we offer America's 🤔 HOMELESS Healthcare?

While Americans pay, how stupid are we

So under the last 2 Democratic potus's(is that the correct plural? Is it Potus's or..Potusi? Or is it P'sotus)Anyway..sorry..sidetracked..Where was I ? Oh,right. Under the last 2...Never mind. They presided over destroying Bin Laden and creating Nuclear fusion.Pretty impressive.
