This is the type of shyt I’m talking about

The fight over giving undocumented Minnesotans health insurance

Republicans at the State Capitol say they want to end the program, in large part because of the cost to taxpayers. But Democrats — as well as hospitals, doctors and nurses — are lobbying to keep the benefit.

Minnesota’s budget deal threatened over plans to undo health care for undocumented adults

Some DFL lawmakers in both the House and Senate are saying they won’t vote for a bill that strips away immigrants’ access to health care.

Faith groups, unions and progressive elected officials are expected to flood the Minnesota Capitol on Friday to hold vigils and protest a budget deal that would revoke health care for undocumented adult immigrants.

The issue is threatening to unravel a one-day-old state budget deal, with some DFL lawmakers in both the House and Senate saying they won’t vote for a bill that strips away immigrants’ access to health care.

Those adults will lose access by Dec. 31, but the program will still cover children under 18 years old.

Democrats passed the measure in 2023, when they narrowly controlled the Legislature and governor’s office, but Republicans, who now hold a tie in the Minnesota House, pushed this session to undo the law.

“It’s despicable that State DFL leaders struck a deal with Republicans, who don’t control any branch of State government, to betray core values held by DFLers,” Minneapolis City Council Vice President Aisha Chughtai posted on social media. “It’s unconscionable that our DFL leaders decided 20,000 Minnesotan immigrants are disposable in their $67 billion budget.”

Republicans pointed to surging enrollment since the program started in January, arguing costs could balloon at a time when the state is already facing a projected deficit.

The Department of Human Services says only a fraction of undocumented individuals enrolled in the program have filed claims, costing the state $3.9 million since the start of the year. That’s more than lawmakers expected, though not as much as Republicans claimed in their efforts to repeal it. Roughly a quarter of enrollees in the program are children, according to DHS.

Gov. Tim Walz and top Democratic leaders announced a deal with Republicans in the House on Thursday to pass a $67 billion two-year budget that also addresses a projected $6 billion deficit in a future budget.

Members of the People of Color and Indigenous Caucus protested the news conference where the deal was announced, banging on the doors to the governor’s reception room chanting “don’t kill immigrants!”

Minnesota lawmakers have just a few days before a May 19 deadline to adjourn the regular legislative session. Top leaders have conceded a special session is likely needed to finish all of the work.

Accusations from Republicans members are already flying that one progressive lawmaker, Senate Higher Education Chair Omar Fateh, DFL-Minneapolis, is refusing to hold meetings to finish work on the state budget over anger about the change.

Walz, MN lawmakers roll back state health care for undocumented adults

Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota lawmakers are ending undocumented immigrant adults’ access to state health insurance, MinnesotaCare, after this year.

What do numbers show​

The Department of Human Services reports that 20,187 undocumented residents were enrolled in MinnesotaCare as of April 25. About 24 percent of the enrollees are children.

Roughly 4,306 undocumented clients have made health claims for MinnesotaCare at a cost of $3.9 million, according to the department.

Advocates for immigrant health care argue that the number of undocumented claims is small compared to the state’s overall budget, which currently sits at $72 billion and will likely fall between $66 and $67 billion for the 2026-2027 biennium. They also argue that undocumented people on MinnesotaCare pay premiums, and that hospital visits by uninsured Minnesotans will cost the state more in the long run.

Faith leaders and immigrant advocates across Minnesota made a push over the last few days to preserve access to MinnesotaCare, which Walz noted in his remarks Thursday.

“The archbishop came down from the cathedral to make the case on the moral side of that, but we also understand there’s a fiscal part,” Walz said.

Well given that, it makes more sense to keep the undocumented on healthcare roll.

In a sane and fair wold everyone regardless of status should have access to basic primary healthcare but in a situation where a sizeable amount of the population and its own citizens lack access to quality care or are insured, expanding access to those here illegally despite the noble sentiments would be reasonably politically fraught.

 

[the cac mamba]

thought you had one there, huh

let's speak frankly. how does importing a bunch of illegal hispanics, and giving them free healthcare, help you out

Tell the archbishop to reach into that big ole Catholic coffer they got in The Vatican and they can have all the subsidized healthcare they want.

fukk illegals. That’s why. Hector and his family of 6, or some fakkit junkie that has OD’d 15 times can get free never ending care and the kid that’s allergic to peanuts has to pay hundreds for his one EpiPen. Why do you care more for the absolute fukking leeches on services than the actual citizens? Your boy newsom saw the light. You magically were ghost from that thread

I'm sorry but Heard Immunity is not a recognised viable medical solution to address mass infections..

And if you're prepared to put your life in Trump and RFK's hands taking their medical advice then death if it comes was well deserved..

Once cacs realized they weren't the smartest people on Earth as they'd always liked to tell themselves, they suddenly adopted the anti intellectual route
