<p>Democrats have repeatedly insisted that they did not shut the government down over a demand for healthcare for illegal aliens, and several of them have expressed their displeasure at the media outlets willing to call them out on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yes-democrats-want-to-give-illegals-free-healthcare-here-are-the-facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that lie</a>.</p>
<p>Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got testy with “CBS Mornings” host Tony Dokoupil on Thursday, claiming that it wasn’t “strictly true” when he challenged her directly on the issue.</p>
<p>“So, Senator, you know, Republicans say what you’re really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for, as they put it, illegal aliens. I know that’s not strictly true but there is a provision –” Dokoupil began.</p>
<p>“Oh, excuse me, not strictly true,” Warren’s protest was immediate.</p>
<p>“It’s not directly true, but –” Dokoupil tried again.</p>
<p>“It is a flat-out lie. It is a flat-out lie,” Warren insisted. “There is nothing in Medicaid, nothing in Medicare, that permits one undocumented immigrant to get one dollar of assistance. None.”</p>
<p>“Sorry, in the Democratic counteroffer the proposal for funding, there is a restoration of Medicaid benefits for certain noncitizens that had been taken away in the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ as Republicans put it,” Dokoupil pushed back.</p>

<p>On CNN, a very similar scene played out between anchor Jake Tapper and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).</p>
<p>“Here’s a provision … it shows you want to give illegal aliens healthcare,” Tapper noted.</p>

<p>“It’s a lie!” Jeffries protested.</p>
<p>“It’s a lie — but, what you support does bring back funding for emergency Medicaid to hospitals, which pays for undocumented immigrants … and a provision for people seeking asylum and ‘temporary protected status,’ noncitizens … why even include that?” Tapper asked.</p>

<p>Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) attempted to claim that she’d never heard anyone in her party calling for providing healthcare for illegals — and Fox News host Lawrence Jones responded with video evidence of members of her party doing exactly that.</p>
<p>“I haven’t heard anybody in my party saying illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance marketplace,” she said.</p>
<p>Jones showed a clip of Democrats on the 2020 debate stage, and then replied, “That’s literally every member of your party from moderate to more progressive that have said that in the past.”</p>

<p>Republicans shared the receipts in a post to X, highlighting the relevant portion of the resolution: “It’s right there on paper. Democrats are fighting for healthcare for illegal aliens, NOT the American people.”</p>

<p>And it’s not a new position, either. Several people posted videos and still photos from one of the 2020 Democratic primary debates, when every Democrat on the stage raised a hand to confirm that all of their healthcare plans would include coverage for “undocumented immigrants.”</p>
