<<Also, let's forever put to bed the fantasy that noncitizens were never getting enrolled in Medicaid.>>

I've grayed out the willfully ignorant posters here, so I see their comments only when they're quoted by another poster.

Re this quote, I merely point out that "noncitizens" and "illegal immigrants" are two different things. "Noncitizens" includes legal residents who are not (yet) citizens. They constitute a small but nonzero number of persons who lawfully receive Medicaid.

Undocumented noncitizens have NEVER been eligible for Medicaid, although if any of their children were born in the U.S.(and are thus U.S. citizens), those children can be covered by Medicaid. The percentage of Medicaid recipients that fall into this category is (very) low single digits.
