Minnesota budget deal cuts health care for adults who entered the US illegally

Summary

Minnesota's recently passed budget deal excludes adults living in the U.S. illegally from the state-run MinnesotaCare health care program, reversing a 2023 law that allowed their eligibility. The decision, driven by Republican priorities, is expected to impact around 17,000 residents and was met with significant Democratic opposition. After a lengthy debate, the House approved the bill narrowly, with only one Democrat voting in favor, while Senate Democrats expressed deep regret over the vote.

Apparently one of the Minnesota shooting victim was the sole Democrat voter.
