ABC News gets DESTROYED after releasing bogus Medicaid spending study on illegals

by The Right Scoop

ABC News released a bogus study suggesting Medicaid spending on illegal immigrants in 2022 was so insignificant that it doesn’t matter:

That’s right, they were claiming there was no Medicaid spending on illegals. Now they are saying that there was some, but it’s so small it’s not important.

But some online are pointing out what ABC put at the very BOTTOM of their article, which is crucial:

The authors added that the study has limitations including that 11 states did not report emergency Medicaid spending and that the analysis did not account for other public spending on undocumented immigrants.

Best I could tell, the states that were among the 11 were Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Maine, Vermont and Connecticut. That’s some pretty big limitations.

But what others are also pointing out is why go all the way back to 2022? There is much better data in 2023 and 2024:

 
And furthermore, even if it was .04%, which we all know it’s much higher, why didn’t ABC News put a dollar amount on that? Here’s why:
