Senate rejects ban on allowing former illegal immigrants healthcare benefits - The Hill's Floor Action

Senate rejects ban on allowing former illegal immigrants healthcare benefits - The Hill's Floor Action: "The Senate rejected an amendment to the budget that would have banned illegal immigrants from qualifying for “ObamaCare” and Medicaid during [their] period of legal status.

Senate Budget Committee ranking member Jeff Session (R-Ala.) introduced the amendment, which failed on a 43-56 vote. His amendment would have prohibited illegal immigrants, who later gain citizenship, from getting healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act or through Medicaid."
