It is instead a giant step back into poverty for millions of American children. But it is more. This bill will have a devastating impact on the health care system in many urban areas and in many States in this Nation because of its meanspirited and shortsighted provisions to deny Medicaid funds for necessary medical care for legal immigrants. Whatever the view Members may have as to whether we should provide cash support to legal immigrants who end up in need of assistance. there can be no justification to deny health care services to persons who are legally in this country. Cutting Medicaid funds is not going to keep people from getting sick. It is not going to keep them from needing health care services.
