House committee investigating Dem governors for 'illegal alien' Medicaid spending

(The Center Square) – The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is launching an investigation into the “impact of the Biden Border Crisis” on Medicaid, saying it cost taxpayers billions.

As part of the investigation, committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has sent letters to eight Democratic governors and state health commissioners seeking documents and communications regarding their “unprecedented expansion of taxpayer funded Medicaid benefits and services for illegal aliens,” citing figures from the Congressional Budget Office that show taxpayers spent more than $16.2 billion on Medicaid-funded emergency services “for illegal aliens during the first three years of the Biden Administration.”
