GOP Healthcare Plan
could allow illegal Aliens to Access Tax Credit, 3/7/17, NumbersUSA
Healthcare reform
legislation unveiled by GOP Leaders on Monday night would, at best, leave in
place a verification system that allowed up to 500,000 illegal aliens to access
taxpayer-funded benefits over the last several years.
According to a 2016
Senate report, the government issued $750 million of Obamacare subsidies to
individuals whose immigration status couldn't be verified. The GOP plan would
leave in place that failed verification process, or worse, eliminate the
verification process altogether.
According to the 2016
Senate report, the Obamacare framework gave benefit of the doubt to illegal
aliens when they applied for subsidies, but if the alien failed to file the
necessary paperwork, the IRS was supposed to retrieve the funds. A lack of
cooperation between Health and Human Services and the IRS, however, prevented
the money from being recouped.
But according to
multiple Hill contacts, GOP Republicans may not even be able to get the failed
verification process, which would leave their entire plan open to illegal
aliens. Under the plan, subsidies for health insurance would no longer be
awarded, but individuals could receive tax credits for purchasing healthcare on
the government exchanges.

The Tax
Credit needs to be removed from the GOP Plan. We give $billions in EICs Earned Income
Credit EICs, based on low income and number of dependent children. Illegal Aliens claim 30 cousins who live in
Mexico and collect $thousands every year.
