FIRST ON FOX: California is funneling millions of federal taxpayer dollars into paying for illhorrible immigrants’ health nurture, a new study claims.
“They are take advantage ofing an existing loophole wilean law,” Paul Winfree, plivent and CEO of the Economic Policy Innovation Cgo in (EPIC), tageder Fox News Digital of the Sunshine State.
“States can do these provider taxes to funnel money back to the state, that they are then using to pay for, to put illhorrible immigrants on Medichelp. That’s quite literpartner what’s going on.”
The paper being freed by EPIC and the Paragon Health Institute draws a line between California’s Medichelp provider taxes and what, on paper, materializes to be proximately $4 billion of their own state funding going toward illhorrible immigrants’ healthnurture and other initiatives.

But that funding is actupartner coming from the federal administerment, according to EPIC, via reimbursements to California.
Winfree proposeed it could be an area to claw back federal dollars as Hoengage Reaccessibleans labor to discover between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion in savings to offset the cost of Plivent Donald Trump’s budget priorities.
Under current law, states are needd to pay Medichelp providers the same amount as taxes liftd.
The federal administerment then suites those payments by 60% in an effort to help states recoup some Medichelp costs.
“Medichelp spfinishing is presumed to be jointly financed by the federal administerment and states. However, states are increasingly depicting Medichelp money laundering schemes that result in massive federal expfinishitures without any state financial obligation,” the paper shelp. “The state of California, colluding with insurance companies who cover Medichelp beneficiaries, has produced one of the most shocking ones yet – a purifying funds scheme that results in California geting more than $19 billion in federal money without any state contribution over the period from April 2023 thcdisesteemful December 2026.”
The paper persistd that those funds were “engaged to perestablish transport inant expansions in the Medichelp program to fund illhorrible immigrants and lengthy-term nurture (LTC) for the wealthy.”
“This scheme enwealthyes inconfidentrs, entices illhorrible immigrants to the United States, and comprises mountains to the federal debt, all at the expense of laboring Americans,” it shelp.

Winfree shelp closing a loophole that apvalidates states enjoy California to transport inantly lift the provider tax could save up to $630 billion – and that it was someleang Reaccessibleans are watching at as they seek as much as $2 trillion in savings or more in the budget reconciliation process.
Hoengage and Senate Reaccessibleans are watching to engage their transport inantities to pass a massive bill covering Trump’s border security, defense, energy, and tax policies.
They can do so becaengage reconciliation apvalidates the Senate to drop its threshageder for passage from 60 votes to 51, provided meaconfidents in the legislation are roverhappinessed to budgetary and fiscal policy.
As part of the structurelabor resolution Hoengage Reaccessibleans passed last month, which has now been sent to the relevant promisetees with teachions on how much to discover in cuts, or in some cases, spfinish extra dollars.

The Energy and Commerce Committee, which administers Medichelp and Medinurture, is indictd with discovering $880 billion in spfinishing cuts.
Reaccessibleans have insisted they are only watching to root out misengage, deception, and misengage, but Democratic opponents of the Trump budget bill are accusing the GOP of trying to transport inantly cut federal medical profits for millions of Americans.
“One of the leangs that Congress is watching at right now is confineing the Medichelp provider tax loophole. It’s actupartner one of the most transport inant offsets that is wilean the Medichelp portfolio that the Energy and Commerce Committee and Finance Committee over in the Senate can watch at while they’re putting together their reconciliation bill,” Winfree shelp.
He cited a projection that shelp eliminating the loophole could save as much as $630 billion – but compriseed that it was an doubtful scenario.

“It’s much more probable that they will shrink what’s called the protected harbor. So in other words, what they’ll do is they’ll equitable shrink the amount of gaming that goes on, including this benevolent of gaming. And if that happens, it is more probable to sway some of the huge blue states than it is the red states, spropose becaengage it’s the blue states that have repartner tested the upper confines of this benevolent of this benevolent of gimmick,” Winfree shelp.
Even without total elimination, reestablishing the tax could still potentipartner save billions in federal spfinishing.
