Which Trump administration official claimed OBBBA would end healthcare for "illegals stealing taxpayer benefits"?

Question

Accepted Answer

The White House official release claimed "1.4 million illegal immigrants are currently on Medicaid, stealing taxpayer-funded health care benefits meant for American citizens." This false framing ignores that Emergency Medicaid only covers life-threatening emergencies, not routine care. The "stealing" language dehumanizes immigrants while hiding that hospitals legally must treat emergencies regardless of status—costs that OBBBA shifts to taxpayers through higher hospital prices.
