Do you want free health care, free medications, free dental care, and free
physical therapy?
Just renounce your U.S. citizenship and become an illegal resident of the
State of Massachusetts, and you'll be showered with all the goodies.

The nonpartisan citizens' watchdog group Judicial Watch
<http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2015/01/state-gives-illegal-aliens-35-mil-healthcare-meds-physical-therapy/>
reports on Jan. 20, 2015, that *although it violates both state and federal
law, Massachusetts spent tens of millions of dollars to give illegal
immigrants medical care—including prescription drugs, physical therapy and
dental services—through its taxpayer-funded healthcare program for
low-income individuals.*
Tax-paying residents of the Bay State should be outraged, to say the least.
The information comes straight out of a scathing report
<http://www.scribd.com/doc/249801167/Audit-Report-Office-of-Medicaid-MassHealth-Review-of-the-MassHealt>that
contains the findings of an investigation conducted by Massachusetts State
Auditor *Suzanne Bump*. It reveals that *questionable or prohibited medical
claims totaling $35,137,347 were reimbursed by the state’s Medicaid agency
known as MassHealth. A chunk of it went to non-emergency services for
illegal immigrants*, according to the audit.
*MassHealth costs are divided between the state and federal government to
provide healthcare for the poor. Established regulations at both the
federal and state level specifically forbid undocumented immigrants from
receiving coverage for non-emergency treatment in government-funded
Medicaid programs nationwide. *Each year MassHealth doles out more than
$10.8 billion so that 1.4 million eligible people—legal residents—who can’t
afford medical treatment can access it. Of the more than $35 million that
funded treatment for illegal aliens, $27.8 million went to inpatient and
outpatient services, the probe found. The rest was spent on prescription
drugs ($3.6 million), dental services ($1.7 million) and rehabilitation and
physical therapy ($1.9 million).
*The investigation covers a small period that runs from July 2011 to
December 2012 so it only represents a snippet of the actual waste and
violations. *Evidently MassHealth officials know exactly what they’re doing
and hide behind their own interpretation of federal and state rules,
according to Bump, the state auditor. “In the course of the audit we saw
that MassHealth regularly substituted its own judgment for that of the
medical professional in determining whether to cover a service,” Bump said
in a statement
<http://www.mass.gov/auditor/news-and-updates/press-releases-2014/audit-finds-35-million-in-questionable-and-unallowable.html>
announcing her findings. “Based on our understanding of the plain language
in the regulations, MassHealth Limited is paying for ineligible services,
and the tab is costly.”
*American taxpayers have long been stuck with the exorbitant cost of
providing illegal immigrants with medical care.* In fact, Judicial Watch
has been reporting it for years, citing figures provided by state, federal
and county governments. Besides spending *billions of dollars annually* as
a nation to medically treat illegal aliens, here are a couple of
exceptional cases reported by JW over the years:
- In *California*, the state with the nation’s largest illegal immigrant
population, *offers illegals* *free organ transplants
<http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2008/04/illegal-immigrants-get-free-organ-transplants/>*
and the costly follow-up treatment required after the complicated surgery.
- In Scott County, *Minnesota*, the public *paid for an incarcerated
illegal alien’s $50,000 penis pump
<http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2010/07/taxpayer-funded-penis-pump-jailed-illegal-alien/>*because
it was billed as an “emergency” medical procedure.
The list goes on and on. The problem has gotten so out of control that a
few years ago a Democratic congressman from Ohio introduced legislation
<http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.4026.IH:>requiring foreign
countries to reimburse American taxpayers for the exorbitant medical
expenses of illegal immigrants. The measure, known as *the PAYBACK Act*
(Preventing All Your Bucks from Aiding non-Citizens is Key) was estimated
to save the U.S. government billions annually and ensure that public funds
were not used to finance healthcare services for illegal immigrants. The
bill was referred to the House Subcommittee on Border, Maritime and Global
Counterterrorism for consideration but *didn’t get very far* after that.
