New Mexico looking to add subsidies for illegal immigrants to ObamaCare policies

The following was shared with us by a legislator on the Legislative Finance Committee. One shock is the 400% subsidy the State hands to those receiving health care through ACA (ObamaCare) marketplace health plans.

The other is that New Mexico is currently developing a subsidy program for illegal immigrants (see highlighted text). These are fungible resources meaning the State COULD use these same resources to help businesses afford health care for their workers or they could be used to address the medical provider shortage. But that’s not what they’re doing.
