Gov. JB Pritzker: Up to a million Illinoisans will lose health care coverage with slashing of Medicaid – Chicago Tribune*

"Illinois is doing all we can to preserve health care coverage. But if Trump succeeds in cutting Medicaid, no state in the country has the money to backfill the billions of dollars in funding. It will be gone, and the consequences will be devastating."

No problem, just give them the same health benefits provide the illegal aliens.

Illinois “residents”, not meaning Illinois taxpayers, nor Illinois USA citizens. Nope, this is all about the Biden-era undocumented non-legal resident migrants.

History has taught us that if JB’s lips are moving, he’s usually misleading his listeners.

Now he’s setting his words down so he can mislead us in writing.

Why is he so afraid of uncovering fraud and abuse of taxpayer’s money?

His Honor protesth too much!

Pritzker and the Leftist Democrats have choices to make – they created this mess.

Well Governor from what I read you have not been very responsible with the handling of the Medicaid funds and as we so often hear “doing the same thing over expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity.” In view of that it seems to me that cutting Medicaid funding therefore follows another often heard saying that “it is just what the cook ordered.”

There’s always the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) that was pushed to the uninsured. The ACA was to be very inexpensive but costs for everyone went up.

Jeannie Ives said on her radio show last night that this is money being paid to young, able-bodied adults who don’t work.

(I didn’t read the article after I saw it was written by Pritzker. He’s a known liar so I didn’t waste my time. I wish Wirepoints had made his authorship clear and saved me a click.)

She might be correct, but do we have any sources or citations?

Because JB has poured billions of $ onto Criminal Illegal Aliens and ultimately real Illinois taxpayers get left out. Then JB has the brainless arrogance to whine that he’s running out of other people’s money. You just can’t make up the hubris and stupidity of JB and Illinois Democrats.
