Obamacare Bombshell: Pathway to Subsidies for Illegal Aliens
Major news outlets are reporting that President Obama is considering executive orders, orders that potentially grant legal immigration status to 5 to 6 million people.
If so, many of said people earning under 200 percent of Federal Poverty Level would instantly qualify for taxpayer-subsidized Obamacare with cost-sharing reductions, under Obamacare’s “Basic Health Program.”
As another effect, the President’s process effectively lets millions bypass the five-year disqualification immigrants normally face before they can collect federal means-tested benefits like Obamacare and other entitlements. (see, for example, 8 USC 1613)
Don’t believe us? Check out the law[1] and the Dept. of Health and Human Services’ final rule concerning the eligibility of non-citizen residents with legal status. (And notice–the rule and the law are not the same.)
