Chicago - The State of Illinois has launched a new program that will provide free health care to undocumented immigrant adults ages 55 to 64.
The free health care program was approved by lawmakers in Spring 2021. It is an expansion of Illinois' program to provide health benefits for immigrant seniors.
Covered services include doctor and hospital visits, lab tests, physical and occupational therapy, mental health, substance abuse disorder services, dental and vision services, and prescription drugs.(snip)The free health care will expand even further on July 1 to cover eligible adults ages 42 to 54.

Why are we paying for 'invaders' health care?
Because tax payers are 'stupid' and keep voting in Democrat grifters.

Shoot em, then patch em up for free. Shoot citizens too, but charge them enough to cover the freebies.
A regular disneyland. Which doesn’t mean what it used to.

You have to admire the liberal concept of "free". Free to me means the healthcare professionals are performing a service for nothing. The liberal concept of free means using taxpayer funds to provide a service to people who won't have to pay for it, AKA "the Freeloaders". This little scheme is designed to create a new generation of government dependent victims to help steal elections. The left won't be happy until we are officially designated a third world country.

Meanwhile, if you live in Illinois, are an American citizen and are stuck on 0bamacare, you can plan on paying $800 per month in premiums with a $10,000 deductible.

If the voters don't like you, just import new ones.

We need to hand out flyers about this in Texas, along with free bus fare.

Gotta love the liberal use of the word “free”. It’s like the Money Fairy appears and pays the bill. It should read, “Illinois offering taxpayer paid health care…” But the know that would cause problems… so once again, they lie.

OP. As many others had said, if you are using other people's money, it is not charity.
We have men and women who have fought for our country and are waiting in long lines at the VA for healthcare. This is not compassion, this is vote buying.

That means older illegal aliens with all sorts of healthcare problems will gravitate to Illinois. It’s great that the taxpayers of Illinois are pleased as punch to pay for all those illegal aliens healthcare expenses. Along with a good percentage of that money being skimmed off through corruption. That’s all evident as it was the majority of Illinois taxpayers who put the leftist, progressive, and social Democrats in charge of Illinois State Government.

It's a con to get us to accept a single-payer system, giving government total control over care, as a stepping stone to them having authority to ration care (as a political cudgel as well). Citizens will be screaming foul -- 'hey, we want our free health care, too!'...
Fight against it; don't fall for it.

FTA: "Covered services include doctor and hospital visits, lab tests, physical and occupational therapy, mental health, substance abuse disorder services, dental and vision services, and prescription drugs."
Sounds like Illinois is well prepared for new arrivals. I had no idea every American citizen was already receiving such generous benefits in that state.
In any event, border states might want to make new arrivals aware of the free health care and dental care awaiting them, and give them the option of being delivered to Illinois without delay, once they arrive on American soil. What's not to like, if you're an illegal alien?

I haven’t had a hospital client in Illinois since 2017. But Illinois Medicaid was 2 or 2.5 years behind on paying healthcare claims. What a wonderfully generous bunch of idiots.

Working American citizens in that same age group who have been paying into Medicare for decades are not eligible for that same care. I swear it's better to just put on a baseball cap and T-shirt and swim across the Rio Grande. You can get a nice hotel with room service and all of the benefits you can gobble up.
