Today’s special session is set to pass 14 bills, many of which are unconstitutional omnibus bills, without floor amendments or real debate thanks to the deal struck by Walz and the RINO and Dem legislative leaders. Incorporated into this deal was a pledge from Republicans to eliminate free healthcare for illegal aliens, unfortunately, the bill that claims to do so does not actually get the job done!

HF1/SF8 is the piece of legislation dealing with free healthcare for illegal aliens and allows them to keep the receiving healthcare for another six months. In order to fully eliminate the policy, this legislation would have to repeal/amend two changes to law that were made in the 2023 omnibus health bill (SF2995). The two statutes that must be changed include section 256L.04 and 256B.06 in order to fully eliminate free healthcare for illegal aliens.

As seen in HF1/SF8 for the special session, this bill only amends section 256L.04 and leaves Democrat language in place that passed in 2023 on section 256B.06. As seen below in subdivision 10 point (b), this bill states “except that these persons may be eligible for emergency medical assistance under section 256B.06, subdivision 4.” Section 256B.06 clearly creates many loopholes and exceptions to the new policy, which means illegal aliens will still receive free healthcare.

THIS IS NOT THE BILL REPUBLICAN VOTERS WERE PROMISED!

Republicans promised that their hard line in negotiations was the repeal of free healthcare for illegal aliens and they have failed to do so before the vote even takes place! The policy will certainly reduce the amount of illegal aliens getting taxpayer funded healthcare but the loopholes are still in place so that the policy cannot be fully eliminated. While the 'People of Color and Indigenous' (POCI) caucus was triggered in a press conference on the bill, it does not fully eliminate the Democrat program since it appears emergency procedures are still covered.

Crooked politicians like Lisa Demuth, who negotiated this deal, have let down conservatives across our state. A4L received plenty of criticism from the Establishment when we reported that Demuth was flip-flopping on illegals getting free healthcare and has been using woke language to by calling them “undocumented Minnesotans”. However, as usual, A4L was ahead of the game and knew that RINO leadership wasn’t serious about hardline negotiations.

Remember, the deal with Democrats to seat radical leftist Brad Tabke despite massive election fraud in the race at the beginning of session has culminated in the Uniparty force-feeding omnibus bills to the body with a fake bill on illegal alien free healthcare. The big win Republicans were supposed to have out of this special session is not real, some illegal aliens will continue receiving free healthcare on your dime. As negotiators on the deal, Mark Johnson and Lisa Demuth (and Paul Torkelson) let down their caucus and crafted a fake bill with the help of Walz and Democrats. As tempers are already heating up on the GOP side, this may push things to a point beyond return.

A4L will continue to give Patriots the inside scoop and will never hold back when holding the Establishment accountable. Grassroots conservatives across our state have become fed up with do-nothing RINOs who backstab the conservative agenda. We will never waver or substitute our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Stay tuned for reporting as the special session is underway.
