If properly vetted under a working immigration system all entering can be health checked before being turned loose amongst the general US population. I wonder if allowing unchecked illegals in is part of Agenda 21 population reduction, or simply to create chaos and break the system ... or both

I wonder if that's just the core funds, the money disbursed? If not, then the money spent administrating it should be factored in...at least another 10-25%. While we probably wouldn't see much savings the first year or two, we need to start jettisoning these freeloaders; using that money to find and deport them. The savings won't come until a yr. or two, but that would help.

Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants Reportedly Costing Americans $18.5 Billion Annually

Taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits being granted to illegal immigrants despite requirements disqualifying them from receiving such benefits cost taxpayers an estimated $18.5 billion a year, according to recent studies.

According to a report published by Forbes, health care for 3.9 million illegal immigrants costs American taxpayers $18.5 billion annually. Of that total, $11.2 billion in federal taxes went to subsidizing care for illegal immigrants in 2016.

The Center for Immigration Studies found that the percentage of new immigrants on Medicaid grew from 6 percent in 2007 to 17 percent in 2017 an increase of 11 percentage points. The percentage of Americans on Medicaid also increased during the same time period, by 9 percent.

The average immigrant household consumes 33 percent more cash welfare, 57 percent more food assistance, and 44 percent more Medicaid dollars than the average native household, Jason Richwine, independent public policy analyst for the CIS, said. Housing costs are about the same for both groups.
