Obama cuts Medicare to fund illegal aliens



Democrats Screwing Americans Again


(Washington Examiner)  -  The Department of Health and Human Services is raiding several of its accounts, including money for Medicare, the Ryan White AIDS/HIV program and those for cancer and flu research to cover a shortfall in housing illegal youths pouring over the border at a rate of 255 a day.
HHS is trying to come up with $167 million to fund the Office of Refugee Resettlement that is accepting the youths, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
Policy Director Jessica Vaughan said that insiders have told her that the funding crisis has forced the department to squeeze programs for money.
The money, she said, pays for "shelters, health care, schooling, recreation, and other services for the new illegal arrivals, who typically were brought to the border by smugglers paid by their parents, who often are living in the United States illegally."
What's more, it will pay for just one month.

Her sources said the following programs are being hit to pay for the illegals, about half of which the government will lose contact with.
— $14 million from the Health Resources and Services Administration, including $4.5 million from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program and $2 million from the Maternal and Child Health program.
— $14 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for contagious disease prevention and treatment and other critical public health programs.
— $72 million from the National Institutes of Health, for research on cancer, diabetes, drug abuse, mental health, infectious diseases and much more.
— $8 million from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, for treatment and prevention programs.
— $8 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
— $39 million from the Children and Families Services Program.
— $4 million from the Aging and Disability Services Programs.
— $3 million from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, including more than $1 million from the Pandemic Influenza and BioShield Fund.
