Democrats Say the Fight for Undocumented Immigrant Healthcare Isn’t over, Despite Budget Deal
- On May 16, 2025, Minnesota Democrats and clergy protested outside the House chamber reading letters from undocumented immigrants facing health care loss.
- The protest was organized in reaction to a budget agreement reached by Governor Tim Walz and state lawmakers that aims to eliminate MinnesotaCare coverage for undocumented adults while maintaining it for undocumented children.
- MinnesotaCare, established in 1992, enrolled over 20,000 undocumented individuals by April 24, 2025, with 24% being children and claims costing $3.9 million.
- Gabby, a diabetic factory worker of 24 years, described panic attacks over possible coverage loss, while advocates called the repeal "cruelty dressed as fiscal responsibility."
- Advocates said the compromise is insufficient and Democrats, opposed to the deal, prepare to seek separate votes as the Legislature faces a May 19 budget deadline.
