Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Josh Brecheen and Senator JD Vance (R-OH) introduced the No Obamacare for Illegal Aliens Act of 2023 to protect taxpayer dollars by preventing illegal aliens from receiving taxpayer-subsidized healthcare benefits.

“We should not be providing taxpayer-subsidized healthcare benefits to illegal aliens—it is that simple. HHS’ proposed rule would cost the American taxpayer more than $100 million in its first year alone and would encourage more aliens to enter our country illegally in the hopes of receiving similar benefits. This is all part of President Biden’s open-border agenda that has so far led 5.5 million aliens to enter our country illegally—more than the population of Oklahoma. I am proud to introduce this legislation with Senator JD Vance of Ohio to protect taxpayer dollars and exclude illegal aliens from further straining critical programs that are intended for Americans and those immigrants here legally,” said Congressman Josh Brecheen. 

“The American taxpayer should never be forced to cover the cost of healthcare for illegal immigrants. It’s common sense: people who break our laws should not reap the benefits of public programs intended for lawful citizens,” said Senator JD Vance.

Co-sponsors include: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Representatives Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Kevin Hern (R-OK), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Randy Weber (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ).
