other thing that they put in there is very important. And on page 57, in section 2141, not a Republican talking point read from the Democrats document themselves. They said that they want to repeal the health provisions of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. Why is that so important? Because I want to tell you what — what those health provisions did. They eliminated all of the — the taxpayer funded benefits going to illegals. There was there was an amendment that was sent over to the Senate to ensure that illegals would not be getting health care paid for by taxpayer dollars, illegal aliens, okay? 43 of the 47 Senate Democrats voted against that. This is just a few months ago. The bill was signed into law July 4, and we cut all of that out. Let me let me tell you what some of those things are. The Democrats counter proposal CR — the dirty CR we call it, as opposed to the clean cr, would result in nearly $200 billion being spent on illegal aliens and other non-citizens. Let me be specific. This is just a few of those. The reforms that we put in that they want to repeal and reverse, number one, a provision that closes the California loophole. Now, that's a provision that's also been adopted by states like New York and Michigan and Massachusetts. Other states have followed other blue states. The California loophole allows taxpayer-funded Medicaid for illegal aliens. We eliminated that in the Big, Beautiful Bill. Their repeal, their counter offer is to repeal and reverse that. That would cost $34 billion of U.S. taxpayer funds. Number two, a provision that prohibits Medicaid from paying more for emergency care provided to illegal aliens than it does for American patients who are disabled or elderly or children. They want — we eliminated that in the counterproposal that they filed you can read yourself and they want to repeal that. That would cost taxpayers $28 billion.”
