Virginia Dems push to expand state-funded health insurance to illegal immigrant children
Fox News
Democrats in Virginia are making a push to expand state-funded health insurance coverage to illegal immigrant children.
The bill specifically targets individuals in the commonwealth under 19 years of age who are not covered by a group health plan or insurance coverage. It includes the language, "but for their immigration status would be eligible for medical assistance services," which would expand access to illegal immigrant children.

"Because of President Biden's open-border policy, every state is now a border state––including Virginia," State Sen. Glen Sturtevant, a Republican, told Fox News Digital. "Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats in the General Assembly are making every effort to undermine legal immigration and incentivize illegal immigration into the commonwealth."
