California exploited by Medicaid ‘Hole’ to pay for the health care of illegal persons: Study

First on the fox: California pays millions of federal dollars of taxpayers to pay for the health care of illegal immigrants, according to a new study.

“They take advantage of the existing hole in accordance with the law,” said Paul Winfre, President and Executive Director of the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), told Fox News Digital of Sunshine.

“The states can do these services taxes to return the money to the state, and then they use it to pay for illegal immigrants on Medicaid. This is literally what happens.”

The work published by the Epic and Paragon Health Institute draws the line between the Medicaid service provider and what, on paper, it seems that nearly four billion dollars of their own state financing that goes to health and other initiatives of illegal immigrants.

But this funding actually comes from the Federal Government, according to EPIC, through compensation in California.

Winfree suggested that this could be an area for federal dollars because Republicans work in the home to find between $ 1.5 trillion and $ 2 savings to make up for the president’s expenses Donald Trump Budget priorities.

According to the current law, the states are obliged to pay Medicaid service providers the same amount as the taxes collected.

The Federal Government then corresponds to these payments by 60% in an effort to help the countries to compensate for some Medicaid costs.

“Medicaid consumption should be jointly funded by the federal government and the state. However, states are increasingly designing Medicaid money Washing schemes resulting in huge federal expenditures without any state financial obligations, “the work states.” The state of California, demolished with insurance companies covering Medicaid users, has created one of the most religious so far – a money laundering scheme resulting in California, receiving more than $ 19 billion on December 20. “

The paper continued that these funds were “used for the implementation of great extensions in the Medicaid program for financing illegal immigrants and long -term care (LTC) for rich.”

“This scheme enriches insurers, attracts illegal immigrants to the United States and adds the mountains to the federal debt, all at the expense of Americans who work,” it is said.

Winfree said that the closure of a hole that allows countries like California to significantly raise the service provider could save up to $ 630 billion – and that this is something Republicans watch as much as $ 2 trillion savings or more Budget reconciliation procedure.

Republika home and Senate want to take advantage of their majority to bring a huge proposal for the law that covers Trump’s border security, defense, energy and tax policies.

They can do this because reconciliation allows Senate to lower their threshold to pass 60 votes at 51, provided that the measures in legislation are related to budget and fiscal policy.

As part of the framework of the resolution of the Republican Republicans adopted last month, which has now sent relevant committees with instructions on how much to find in the cuts or in some cases they consume additional dollars.

The Energy and Trade Committee, which oversees Medicaid and Medicare, has been charged with finding $ 880 billion in consumption reduction.

Republicans insisted that they just want to use waste, fraud and abuse, but the Democratic opponents of Trump’s budget law accuse the GOP of trying to significantly reduce federal medical benefits for millions of Americans.

“One of the things he looks at is currently restricting the Tax Hole for Medicaid Service. This is actually one of the most significant compensation in the Medicaid portfolio on which the Energy and Trade Committee and the Finance Committee in Senate can view as they make their reconciliation account,” Winfree said.

He quoted a projection that says removal of a hole could save as much as $ 630 billion – but he added that this was a unlikely scenario.

“It is much more likely that it will reduce what is called a safe port. So, in other words, what will do is only reduce the amount of games that happen, including this kind of playing. And if that happens, it is more likely to affect some large blue states than the red state, simply, because they are blue states that are of these types,” these “thunders.

Even without complete removal, tax reform can still save billions of federal consumption.
