  • Budget negotiations for the House Health Finance and Policy Committee hit a sticking point as Republicans push to bar access to MinnesotaCare for undocumented immigrants.

The article from InForum discusses the ongoing budget negotiations in Minnesota, where a significant point of contention is the inclusion of health care coverage for undocumented immigrants. Democrats, who control the state legislature, are pushing for a plan that would provide health care to undocumented immigrants aged 21 to 64, following the approval of coverage for those under 21 in the previous year. However, this proposal faces opposition from Republicans, who argue that the state should prioritize its budget and focus on residents who are legally present. The disagreement has led to a deadlock in the budget negotiations, with the health and human services budget being a critical component of the overall state budget. The article highlights the broader implications of this debate, reflecting national discussions on immigration and health care policy.
