Democrat governor expected to sign bill making illegal aliens Medicaid eligible
A bill that would authorize illegal aliens to use Medicaid in Oregon passed that state’s Senate. Oregon’s Democrat governor, Kate Brown, is expected to sign it. Oregon lawmakers believe that this would expand Medicaid coverage to an additional 100,000 Oregon residents. One of the arguments that these lawmakers advanced was that they wanted to reduce inequity.
From Fox News:
“When opportunities in our state are withheld from a specific class of people, we perpetuate systems of inequity,” the lawmakers argued in The Oregonian. “As legislators of color, we believe it is important to challenge the injustices that have been in our nation and state since their founding.”
The bill is likely to be signed by Brown, a Democrat, who had previously expressed support for the “Cover All People” proposal.
“All Oregonians must have quality, affordable health care, regardless of who they are or where they live,” Brown said in March. “During my time as Governor, we’ve made great strides in expanding access. Currently, 94 percent of Oregonians and 100 percent of children have access to health care. The pandemic has taught us this is not good enough. And unfortunately, our communities of color have paid the price. Gaps in coverage persist, and these gaps are disproportionately borne by communities of color.”
It is the latest move by Democrats across the country to expand access to taxpayer-funded benefits programs to those in the country illegally, by either expanding access, dropping restrictions or otherwise by promoting a pathway to citizenship for those who entered illegally.

wow as i have said in past comments semi colon this shit can’t get any better and i just f—in love it.
Saw this BS on evening last while perusing for FGS. It was a good thing that I had a frosty Yuengling in one hand and BBQed Pork Rinds in the other, else I’d of thrown this laptop across the room. Also a good thing I had taken my evening BP pills ’bout an hour before, mighta been the thing that kept me from spiking. Lady Friend did make notice of the steam coming outa my ears tho.
STOP THE GIVEAWAY OF WORKING TAXPAYER’S MONEY!!! NOW!!!!!!!! What part of ILLEGAL do they not understand? What are they gonna do when there is no longer any RAAAYYCCIIIST working white people left to pay these taxes to give away to people who have NEVER contributed to the Country? Or working contributors of ANY Race?
There is a legal way to become a citizen of this Country. Use it or GTFO!
F’ing disgusted with these politicians.
If only the funding would only come from the Legislatures salaries…
I bet it would be a big NOPE!
Yeah, sure! That is a great way to fix inequity!!! (Sarcasm)
6 months or more later, all who use Medicaid in the state will have equity in the fact that all will equally not get money due to the program running out of it.
One way to learn not to be stupid is to feel how much it hurts to be so. Though the Governor and other Democrats will be well insulated against it.
How in any sane world is it not illegal to give federal (read taxpayer) funds to illegals.. Can’t we go back to the days of Ellis Island where even if you came here legally, if you could not prove you wouldn’t be a burden on the nation, you got sent back???
How is that “Greater Idaho” initiative coming along? I wish them luck and success.
That’s what you get when you elect liberal idiots, next is their blame of trump for increased crime after they defund the Police!
Someone once said…’you eventually run out of other people’s money’. Boggles the mind.
Unintended Consequences:
– “why is our illegal population doubling?”
– lib populace leaves because they can’t afford their lib lifestyles
– conservative states see increase in lib population
– libs set about ruining another state through voting their beliefs even though it didn’t work in their previous state.
Which IMHO confirms my hypothesis that liberals are not unlike a parasitic infection, they infest one location until it’s uninhabitable, then migrate like a harmful parasite going from host to host just like how libtard Californites have infested and ruined parts of Oregon, Washington and Colorado!
