Buck, Boebert Denounce Biden Administration Move to Federally Fund Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants

Press Release

Today, U.S. Representatives Ken Buck (CO-04) and Lauren Boebert (CO-03) denounced the Biden administration's approval of Colorado's State Innovation Amendment Waiver Request, which would use federal funds to subsidize illegal aliens' healthcare.

Colorado's 1332 waiver, expressly asking HHS to use federal funds to offer healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), directly violates the clear intent of the ACA, which prohibits the use of federal funds to subsidize healthcare for these populations.

"While Americans suffer at the pump, Biden gives their tax dollars to illegal aliens," said Congressman Buck. "This is one more episode of the Biden administration's almost unbelievable commitment to putting the needs of Americans behind everyone else."

"Democrats are putting illegal aliens first and Americans last. While Coloradans struggle to pay for gas and are being destroyed by inflation, Democrats' top priority is to take your tax dollars and use them to give illegal aliens free Obamacare," said Congresswoman Boebert. "This is just plain wrong."
