This is not an expensive amendment. According to CBO. the cost of care for children and the prenatal care services is less than the cost for elderly persons. whose Medicaid eligibility would continue to be restricted under this amendment. Furthermore. the cost of providing a healthy childhood to both unborn American citizens and legal immigrant children is far less than the cost to society of treating health complications at delivery and throughout the lives of these children. Finally. many legal immigrants serve in the Armed Forces. Many have fought and even evidenced their willingness to sacrifice their lives for the Nation. How would we reward this sacrifice under this bill?
