Republicans love to claim that Democrats want to “give free health care to illegal aliens.”But the truth is far more complicated—and far more revealing.
In this episode, Nate Charles breaks down the real policies behind that talking point:
* EMTALA, the Reagan-era law that guarantees emergency care for everyone;
* Emergency Medicaid and Disproportionate Share Hospital Payments, which keep hospitals afloat under that mandate;
* and the GOP’s 2025 budget cuts that are quietly starving those very programs while pretending to defend taxpayers.
It’s a deep dive into how a talking point one micron away from a lie became a rallying cry—and what it means for every uninsured American.
