Trump Admin Found 'More Than $1 BILLION' In Taxpayer Dollars Were Spent On Illegals' Healthcare

Posted • October 24, 2025: Over the past three-plus weeks since the start of the Schumer Shutdown the Democrats continue to spread the rhetorical equivalent of cow manure about millions in taxpayer dollars not going to pay for illegals' healthcare in the U.S. Their audacious kabuki theater. Earlier in Oct., House Speaker Mike Johnson explained to former Bill Clinton campaign operative, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, exactly how - and why - Dems have demanded the federal government keep the gravy train going for illegals across the country to pay for their healthcare; it's the primary purpose for the shutdown. All the while, even with much of the federal government in sleep mode, the Trump administration continues to work on lowering the cost of medicines for every day Americans with a second deal with a major pharmaceutical company.

There's already ample documentation on how much fraud, waste, and abuse is endemic in the Medicaid program, with Oregon set to dole out a massive amount--about $1.5 billion--in healthcare benefits from 2025-2027, 25 percent of it covered by federally-funded tax dollars. Most recently, in May, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director, Dr. Mehmet Oz shared that the overall Medicaid fraud was astronomical, according to what had been ferreted out by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote. Now, we see yet another submitting of receipts over Medicaid and illegal immigrants, in a new interview with Fox News' Fox & Friends this week. Hold on to your seats, readers. The Trump administration has "identified more than $1 billion" in taxpayer dollars that were spent on Illegals' healthcare--and they have only investigated "half a dozen states," Dr. Oz said in the segment this week:

🚨 JUST NOW: Dr. Mehmet OZ reveals that they've FOUND over a $1,000,000,000 BILLION in Federal tax payer funds spent on Healthcare for illeagls! "Democrats say money from federal government is NOT going to illegal migrants." - "We have identified more than a BILLION DOLLARS." —— A major positive in what he said is that the Trump administration is in the process of "clawing back" that money from misuse. As Dr. Oz also stated in the clip, the receipts don't lie--and they continue to pile up on the leftists who control the Democrat Party in this mess. I'd say the facts are clear as a mill pond after a summer thunderstorm: Democrats cannot hide that they are fine with leaving actual Americans in need out to dry - while they fight like heck to protect illegals with Senator Chuck Schumer's Shutdown. Shameful.

Dr Mehmet Oz, who's in charge of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, claims that his investigators have found that in the last few months, over a billion dollars in Medicaid have been found going to illegal immigrants. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1980981960483782656/vid/avc1/1280x720/pgVfefiQ-Y8xl8zz.mp4 (…)
