Regarding the "lie" comment, that was lazy of me. I didn't mean to assert you're a liar. I meant to assert that you were pushing a narrative I don't think you believe is truly accurate, but you believe is nevertheless defensible.

ETA: So I read it. And the final statement in it - “give providers more money to care for undocumented” (subsidize their care) - is exactly my prescription.
Nothing you’ve cited demonstrates any significant portion of HC coverage can be afforded by the average undocumented immigrant. And the math, even some of the facts in that article, suggest undocumenteds don’t have the ability to pay for any substantial portion of such coverage. So really, where we’re at is you disagreeing with my assessment such HC coverage would be “almost entirely” subsidized. But given what we know now, there exists a huge and credible basis for use of that measurement. The standard of contrary proof is yours, and you’ve got a job on your hands.
