California leads 20-state lawsuit over Medicaid data transfer to DHS

California is leading an alliance with 19 other states, to transfer the Medicade Data to the Homeland Security Department (DHS) in a case against the Trump administration, which has US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE).

Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta said that the federal suit filed on Tuesday in the northern district of California represents more than 28th time in 23 weeks or more than once a week – that California is challenging the President in court.

“After information and belief, California, Illinois and Washington centers the California, Illinois and Washington of the US Health and Human Services Department (HHS) handed over a contingent data of individuals received by other federal agencies including other federal agencies to other federal agencies.” “Health information of millions of persons was transferred without their consent, and in violation of federal law.”

They allow state non-American citizens to enroll in medicade programs that say they only pay for their expenses using state taxpayers dollars. The Associated Press reported last month that the share of data by DHS by HHS included addresses, names, social security numbers, immigration status and data for enroll in those states.

“In doing so, the Trump administration quietly destroyed the passengers for a long time, who protected the sensitive health data of the public and prohibited its use only for the objectives that the Congress has authorized, violating federal laws, including the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA),” Saws. ” The complaint alleges violation of several other federal privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and 1996 Accountability Act, known as Hippa.

HHS has claimed that the transfer of data in DHS means “to ensure that the medicade benefits are reserved for individuals who are deserved to receive them methodically.”

“But the Congress expanded itself for emergency Medicade for all individuals living in the United States, even those who lack satisfactory immigration status,” the complaint says. “States have continued to verify the eligibility of individuals for federally funded medicade services using established federal systems and cooperate with federal inspection activities to ensure that the federal government only pays for the medicated services that are legally authorized.”

Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Road Island, Vermont and Washington’s Attorney General Suits were included.

Bonta said at a virtual press conference, “President Trump, Secretary Christie NoM and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior are making weapons to the Medicid to fuel their anti -immigration campaign.” “They are threatening personal health data of 78.4 million individuals, who are enrolled for their mass monitoring and federal immigration enforcement schemes in the medicine and children’s health insurance programs, chips.”

“This is not about cutting the garbage or going after fraud,” Bonta said. “This is about going after the weak people, who helped to reach a basic human rights, to help hand over to the state and the federal government.”

The complaint states that they “intend to protect their state Medicade programs, and to prevent them from use in the service of an immigrant religious crusade, or to prevent other objectives unrelated to the administration of those programs.”

The HHS said that HHS is falling aggressively on the states that can misuse Federal Medicade Fund to take care of illegal immigrants – including California, “HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said.” This oversight effort – This oversight effort – supported with DHS supported by sharing valid inter -detta data with DHS – Identity, focusing on identity, focusing on focus, focus Is.”

He said, “HHS worked entirely within its legal right – and in full compliance with all the applied laws – to ensure that the medicade benefits are reserved for individuals who are entitled to receive them legally.”

The plaintiff claims that his states “will lose the Federal Fund, as the fear and confusion arising from displacement causes disintegration of nonsense and his family members, or refuse to enroll, in emergency Medicade, for which they are otherwise eligible, states and their safety net hospitals to leave bills for federal emergency health services.”

“State will eventually tolerate negative public health costs associated with the use of healthcare for delivery and other emergency conditions,” the complaint states. “Meanwhile, the public will suffer irreparable damage due to increased sickness and mortality.”

Bonta noted that California’s Medi-Cal-Call program provided public healthcare coverage for one of the three California residents, including more than two million nonsuctions. Because not all nonsutezenses are eligible for federally funded meddi-time services, California uses state-keval money to provide a version of the Medi-Cal program to all eligible state residents, “without caring for their immigration situation,” he said.

Bonta said in a statement, “The Trump administration has long enhanced the security of privacy with its decision to illegally sensitive, personal health data with ice. In doing so, it has created a culture of fear that will demand fewer people to demand important emergency medical care.” “I am ill with this latest Salvo in the President’s anti-immigrant campaign. We are going to court to prevent any further sharing of medicated data-and not used for immigration enforcement purposes to ensure any already shared data.”
