First on Fox: Former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is warning that any push by the Harris administration to pass Medicare for All would add more than 12 million illegal immigrants to the program, which he says will hurt the Americans who pay for it and invite more illegal immigrants to the United States.
“This will make the program more expensive. It will make it harder for us to see doctors. It will add $2 trillion in costs. It will lead to huge supplier shortfalls. It will have a devastating effect on our elderly. “, he told Fox News Digital in an interview. “And in the midst of all this, Kamala Harris wants to add 12 million illegal immigrants.“

Vice President Kamala Harris There have been repeated calls to pass Medicare for All. He co-sponsored Senator Bernie Sanders' legislation and has expressed his support for it on several occasions. During his 2019 presidential primary campaign, he called for a transition to a Medicare-for-all system.
“So the bottom line and the most important thing is that everyone has access to health care,” Harris said. “That’s the goal. That's my goal: to support the policy of 'Medicare for all,'” he said in 2019.
He also said it would include those who are in the country illegally.
“I oppose any policy that denies anyone in our country access to public safety, public education, or public health. she said.
However, this year his campaign told media outlets, including Fox, that he no longer supports the plan and is instead focusing on improving and expanding Obamacare. His campaign website says he will “make affordable health care a right, expand and strengthen the Affordable Care Act, and make permanent the Biden-Harris tax credit improvements that are reducing health care premiums by an average of $800 per year for millions of Americans.” ”
Jindal, however, is skeptical of this denial.

“When politicians tell us and show us what they believe, I think we should believe them,” he said.
“What is more likely? That he suddenly changed his mind and didn't tell us himself? He won't tell us why he changed his mind. He won't tell us what new policies he supports. Or maybe he will be elected.” Say what you want, but does he still have the same radical beliefs he had before?”

Jindal warned that this would not only put severe strain on the healthcare system and lead to worse coverage for Americans, but would also encourage more illegal immigration.
“It is literally a gold-plated invitation for new immigrants. He's not just proposing that he just wants to add the 12 million illegal immigrants who are already here to Medicare. What he's saying is, hey, people who are here, people who can come here, we'll get you on Medicare. Wants to keep those who haven't been here yet, Kamala Harris wants to give you access to Medicare.

“And that's why we made this video. We want voters to understand that the America First Health Care agenda first takes care of the American people who pay their taxes to the Medicare program. And then it puts patients and their doctors, not government bureaucrats, in control of their health care.” he added.
