During Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s contentious Senate confirmation hearing as HHS secretary nominee, he revealed that Medicaid costs blew out by a staggering 60% during Joe Biden’s presidency.
“Our ship is sinking. Our 60% increase in Medicaid over the past four years is the biggest budget line now, and it’s growing faster than any other.”
Biden’s border invasion is what happened over the past four years.
It stands to reason that if you have an extra 10 to 20 million new potential low-income patients, none of whom has contributed a penny in net taxes, you will get a blowout in Medicaid and Medicare costs.
This is the dirty little secret that the Biden administration and their minions in the “fact-checking” business have been busy denying.
But talk to doctors who have worked near the border, and they will tell you illegal aliens get unlimited taxpayer-funded health care, and many have serious health problems.
