Republican challenger Tim Sheehy is criticizing Democratic incumbent Jon Tester over immigration and healthcare, echoing claims used against other Democrats this year. A campaign ad funded by Sheehy and the National Republican Senatorial Committee alleges that Tester voted to provide taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants, citing a past Senate vote on a budget amendment.
In 2013, during a"vote-a-rama," when lawmakers from both parties often introduce amendments intended to force votes on policies that could be controversial with constituents, Senate Republicans forced Democrats to vote on a budget bill amendment to prohibit immigrants illegally in the country from qualifying for federally subsidized health care.
One position the ad says Tester shares with Harris is that"Jon Tester voted to give taxpayer-funded health care to illegal immigrants." to have any potential meaning," Smith told PolitiFact. In 2013, during a series of budget bill amendments, Tester and other Democrats voted against a Republican-sponsored amendment that would have prohibited immigrants illegally in the country from qualifying for federally subsidized health care.
“Tim Sheehy told us his health care plan: ‘We need to return health care to pure privatization.’ That would eliminate Medicare.”
