California is set to become the first state to offer free health care to illegal aliens.
It follows a budget deal made by Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrats in the legislature that will cover Medi-Cal for all residents, regardless of immigration status.
According to Breitbart: The Sacramento Bee reported on the expansion of the state’s Medicaid program, which will cost an additional $2.6 billon:
Gov. Gavin Newsom late Sunday announced a budget deal he struck with the Legislature included a new Medi-Cal expansion that would cover more undocumented adults.
The program’s launch, starting no later than Jan. 1, 2024, is expected to provide full coverage for approximately 700,000 undocumented residents ages 26-49 and lead to the largest drop in the rate of uninsured Californians in a decade.
…
The state already allows many undocumented residents to join Medi-Cal. In 2015, California began allowing undocumented children to join Medi-Cal. Four years later, eligibility broadened to those younger than 26. And in May, the state started covering people aged 50 and over.
The headline policy announcement of the budget deal was an agreement to send relief checks of up to $1,050 to residents to help them deal with the rising price of fuel and inflation in general. Economists now warn that could make inflation worse.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, almost every Democratic Party candidate promised to make health care free for illegal aliens, dismissing concerns that it would create a further incentive for migrants to come to the U.S. unlawfully.
Great Idea. This will be the end of California and the Hollywood elite will be destroyed. I am glad he is doing this because it will be all over for that evil sick twisted state that poisons the rest of the world. They will bankrupt in the first fiscal year. Newsom knows this will destroy California, but thats exactly what he wants to do. Follow the game plan of Soros by destroying America. California can take credit as being the first state to bite the dust.
I do not feel sorry for the people of California because they voted for him again. So you get what you deserve.
So you think elections are real?
You sure your not a liberal?
This is how you make more democrats
Yeah
I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure they get free health care everywhere in the county!
Then again they can have it, I wouldn’t sept foot in any medical institution in this country.
