Democrats are dropping the masks.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) slipped the true agenda behind the Schumer shutdown struggle throughout an look on Fox Information’ Mornings with Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday earlier than the shutdown.
Whereas making an attempt to defend his get together’s refusal to just accept Republican spending cuts, Khanna brazenly confirmed that Democrats are demanding extra funding for “healthcare” applications that embrace unlawful immigrants.
Maria Bartiromo:
However you don’t need them to eliminate the filibuster. No person needs to eliminate the filibuster. They need the 60 votes and to have common order.Look, Republicans have been on this program this morning, Congressman, and what they maintain saying is that the Democrats wish to make it simpler for unlawful immigrants to get well being care.
And whereas they are saying they wish to return to pre-COVID spending, there is no such thing as a effort on the Democrats’ aspect to return to pre-COVID spending in case you’re including a trillion {dollars} in well being care spending. Your response?
Rep. Ro Khanna:
On the filibuster, I’ve been constant. I known as for eliminating the filibuster when Joe Biden was President. I believe they need to do it now. They have already got eradicated it for therefore many issues like presidential appointments.So in the event that they wish to move a funds, they’re in energy. They’ve the Senate, they’ve the Home, they’ve the President. They’ll do it tomorrow.
As for well being care, the truth is that they’re simply not being sincere. The amount of cash that really goes in the direction of people who find themselves undocumented is such a small portion of the Medicaid cuts or the Inexpensive Care Act, if in any respect. Anybody who seems on the numbers will acknowledge that 90 to 95% of the funding we’re speaking about is for Americans.
What they’re doing is slicing Medicaid funding. It’s going to harm, as Josh Hawley has mentioned, rural hospitals. It’s going to harm individuals—90 million Individuals under $75,000. Now they’re speaking about anybody on the exchanges having an 80% enhance of their well being care premiums.
Even Khanna admits a bit of YOUR cash goes to illegals. He simply needs you to consider it’s “small.” However small or not, why are Individuals being compelled to foot ANY a part of the invoice for many who broke our legal guidelines to get right here?
