First on Fox: A new study claims that California is paying billions of federal taxpayers to pay for the health care of illegal immigrants.
“They are exploiting an existing flaw within the law,” Paul Winfrey, president and CEO of the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), told Fox News Digital.
“The states can do this to return the tax state to the state, after which they are using for payment, to put illegal immigrants on a medicated.
The article released by the EPIC and the Paragon Health Institute has drawn a line between California’s medicid -provider taxes, and on paper, about $ 4 billion in state funds in the state fund by illegal immigrants’ health care and other measures.

But this financial support is in fact coming from the federal government, according to the epic, through compensation to California.
Winfrey suggested that it could be an area of ​​federal dollar returning as House Republican President Donald Trump could work to save 1.5 trillion and $ 2 trillion to meet the cost of budget preferences.
Under the current law, the states need to pay the same amount of medical providers as the tax has been collected.
After that, the federal government resembles 60 % of these payments in an attempt to help the states compensate for some medical expenses.
The article states that “medical expenses should be jointly provided by the federal government and states. However, states are rapidly designing medical money laundering schemes, resulting in a large number of federal spending without any official financial responsibility.”
“California, in conjunction with insurance companies, which covers Medicide beneficiaries, has yet to form a highly provocative, a money laundering scheme, which resulted in more than 19 billion dollars in California from April 2023 to December 2026.
The article continues that these funds were used to “enforce a major expansion in the medical program so that they would fund long -term care (LTC) for illegal immigrants and wealthy.”
“This scheme reinforces insurance companies, attracts illegal immigrants to the United States, and adds mountains to federal loans, at the cost of working Americans,” he said.

Winfrey said shutting down a flaw that allows states such as California to increase the taxpayer tax could save up to $ 630 billion, adding that this is something that Republicans are seeing because they are looking for a maximum of 2 trillion savings or more than 2 trillion in the budget reconciliation process.
The House and the Senate are seeking to use their majority to pass the large -scale bills covering the border security, defense, energy and tax policies of Trump.
They can do so because reconciliation allows the Senate to reduce its doorstep to pass through 60 votes, provided the legislature measures are related to budget and financial policy.
Last month, as part of the framework resolution house Republicans, which has been sent to the relevant committees with instructions on how many deductions are to be searched, or in some cases, spend extra dollars.

The Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees medical and medical, has been accused of reducing $ 880 billion.
Republicans have insisted that they just want to root out waste, fraud and abuse, but the Democratic opponents of the Trump Budget Bill have accused GOP that they are trying to significantly reduce the federal medical benefits for millions of Americans.
Winfrey said, “One of the things that the Congress is seeing now is to limit the detection of a medicated provider tax. It is actually a very important offset inside the Medicated Portfolio, in which the Energy and Commerce Committee in the Senate can consider it when they are considering.”
He cited a projection that states that the elimination of detection could save $ 630 billion, but added that it was an unexpected scenario.

“It is more likely that they will reduce it by calling it safe harbor. So, in other words, what they will do is that they will reduce the amount of gaming, including such gaming.
Even without complete elimination, tax reforms could potentially save billions of federal spending.
