MD House voted in favor of bill by 101-34 margin; similar legislation being considered by Senate
The Maryland House approved a measure on Friday to enable people to buy health insurance through the state’s health care exchange regardless of their immigration status, with the approval of a federal waiver.
The House voted 101-34 for the bill, which now goes to the Senate, where similar legislation is under consideration.
The measure would require the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange to submit a federal waiver application by July 1, 2025, to implement the program. The waiver is needed because of federal restrictions on undocumented immigrants using the marketplace. Washington state received such a waiver from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in late 2022. The program in Maryland could start as early as 2026, if a waiver is granted.
so we give them our tax dollars so they can pay them back to the State – ingenious!
ALL ILLEGAL !!!! Where are the COURT STAYS ????? Illegals get NOTHING !!!!
This is sooooo wrong!
Illegals should be prosecuted and deported – never to return again!
Of course they did. I really hate Maryland. In about 1.5 years I’ll be able to move….hopefully we aren’t in a civil war at that point! Citizens are tired of this crap being shoved down our throats. Even moving probably won’t help as it seems the LEFT DEMONcrats have totally ruined our country for our citizens.
quit calling them ” undocumented immigrants “. They are illegal aliens and need to be deported.
The new politically correct term is “Non- U.S. Citizens”. C’mon man!
Correct TERM is ILLEGALS !!!!
This guy is gonna have us just like California. All for political gain
Just like Jake Day did here.
Regardless of what you want to happen to illegal immigrants in the long run, while they are here it is better for ALL of us for them to have health insurance. Don’t forget, they have to pay for it, same as you or me. And the larger the insurance base is, the lower everyone’s costs get. Not to mention that if they are insured, hospitals and in turn taxpayers don’t have to bear the burden of paying for uninsured services. So put aside your hatred and hope they do get insured. It’s just better business, even for you.
idiot LMAO – you need help seek it please
would even be better if we didnt let them all in
81 million “voted” for this mess. They should solely be responsible for funding it dealing with the consequences.
We’re getting closer by the day to Taxation without Representation that this country initially fought against. Like Benjamin Martin said in The Patriot, “Why should I trade 1 tyrant 3,000 miles away for 3,000 tyrants 1 mile away?”
What happens if we all just stopped paying taxes? They can’t lock us all up.
I can’t afford paying for healthcare!
I have paid my taxes for the last 44 years and have never received anything free from the government.
I think people of color will be the first to revolt. FJB and the Demorats that support this vegetable.
Your cost for policies through the Maryland Health Exchange are related to your income, so I’m sure you could afford a health insurance policy 11:58. Have you tried?
OBAMA Care is NO Good !!! They just changed the name !!!! Same Garbage !!!!
I see, reading comprehension is a problem here.?
They are going to pay for their health insurance, not receive it free.
Free I have a problem with, but if they pay health care, ssn and taxes like we all do what’s the issue??
We need more people contributing to the system..it’s the free I have a problem with!!
if they pass this bill, what makes you think they won’t pass the 7% sales tax increase. Fascism at it’s finest
Pelosi always says > NOONE ABOVE THE LAW !!! That means the GOVT too !!!! Illegal is Illegal !!!!!
Illegals being HERE is ILLEGAL !!!!!
deport them all problem solved! these bleeding heart liberals on here fail to realize the impact illegals are having on the complete social fabric of our society, impacting the schools, jobs, housing, crime. its not just about health care! deport them all!
How in the hell are they going to pay for anything when they aren’t even working
May the Lord have mercy on the evil illegal soul who messes with my family 👪
Its gonna be a turkey shoot
