Colorado Democrats Launch Program to Give Free Healthcare to Illegal Aliens
by Warner Todd Huston 9 Dec 2024
Colorado Democrats are celebrating a new law that will go into effect on January 1 that will extend free Medicaid coverage to illegal migrants who are pregnant as well as migrant children.
Dubbed “Cover All Coloradans,” the program opens up state Medicaid funding for prenatal and postpartum care, physical, dental, vision, and mental health care for children, with an initial price tag of up to $51 million in costs to the Colorado taxpayer, according to CBS News.
Democrat Gov. Jared Polis’ administration is working with a list of immigrant activist groups to alert migrants that they are eligible for the program and can sign up while assuring migrants that their personal information and lack of legal immigration status will not be supplied to immigration officials.
Bryan Rodriguez, Denver Health Program Manager, noted that he and his operatives are hastening to inform migrants that their immigration status will not be used against them as the Trump administration gears up in January.
