"During a particularly unhinged Friday rant to reporters at the White House, Trump called Democrats mentally damaged, claiming they want to take $1.5 trillion with a T and give it to people that invaded our country. They want to give them healthcare and take it away from our citizens. Trump made the claim again several hours later in remarks to reporters in Florida."
"Notably, as Axelrod mentions, under federal law, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Affordable Care Act Marketplace subsidies or for Medicaid. The real stakes lie in preserving and extending the ACA premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions that many Americans rely on, which are set to expire unless Congress acts. Without them, millions of legal U.S. residents could face sharply higher monthly premiums or lose coverage entirely."
Repeated claims blamed Democrats for causing a government shutdown by alleging Democrats sought to provide health care to undocumented immigrants and transfer $1.5 trillion to them. Those claims are false because undocumented immigrants are barred from Affordable Care Act Marketplace subsidies and from Medicaid under federal law. The immediate policy issue is preserving and extending ACA premium tax credits and cost‑sharing reductions; without congressional action, many Americans could face sharply higher monthly premiums or lose coverage entirely. Millions of legal U.S. residents rely on the enhanced credits and reductions. A recent KFF poll found 56% of MAGA Republicans back extending the enhanced premium tax credits.
