Let me think about that....NO!
A new ad campaign has been launched to extend medical coverage to illegal aliens in the state of California.
The California Endowment, a private foundation that advocates for affordable healthcare, wants county-run Medicaid expansion programs called Low-Income Health Programs to be "retooled" to provide insurance for this population - well over 1 million people!
Just what the people of California need, right? First they cut tuition assistance for citizen students by $1.2 billion.
Then they made illegal aliens eligible for in-state tuition and financial aid, with AB131 - signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Then tuition assistance was cut for members of the military by sequestration - affected tens of thousands of whom live in California.
Now, this week we learned that 20,000 illegal aliens have signed up for tuition assistance in the state - costing taxpayers an estimated $65 million per year - so far - while at the same time the state closed 70 parks at a cost of a mere $11 million.
Citizens get the shaft, and illegal aliens get VIP treatment - that is America's Sanctuary State.
But now they want even more: free healthcare coverage - on the taxpayer's dime again (of course). Note that unpaid medical bills from illegal aliens already cost California hospitals $1.25 billion per year. But no matter...California will likely cave in and give even more to their new prized non-citizen constituency. Because in Sacramento the inmates are truly running the asylum.
Here's the ad video. Tell us what YOU think in the comments below...
I always say: ‘Show me that country where I can go and live without paying taxes, where school is free, doctor care is free, delivery of utilities is free, service of fire depts and police depts is free... etc.
PLEASE tell me where that country IS... I’ll go home and start packing NOW!!!
Forty years ago in Pittsburgh they had these things called “free clinics.” Thank God I was healthy and never had to use one, so I didn’t really pay attention to them. My impression was that they were sort of hippie medical offices, where if you didn’t have any money you could get free medical care, man. Anybody remember “free clinics?” How did they work? Where did the money come from? Was it just volunteer doctors? Did they all just turn into abortion clinics (that’s what I suspect)?
Go home, FELONS.
Maybe the illegal aliens are just trying to do the American Taxpayer a favor by demanding 'Affordable Healthcare', because they know WHO will be paying for it!

What do they mean our country has spoken and everyone has said everyone should have healthcare..What is with the do they mean everyone,everyone.. They already go to ER’S give them fake names, fake addresses,fake jobs, SSN/NA... Many hospitals I am sure dream of the day when all the illegals will all pay their bills. How many medical workers have been ripped off by illegals they send a separate for their services.When illegals are owed money they demand their money,but illegals expects dr’s and labs, all those who sent a separate bill, to work for them free of charge.Illegals are all about gimme,gimme,gimme,gimme.. Mexico offers afforable healthcare to her citizens, much of is free of charge.
OMG! Arrest them and put them on a bus to the farthermost reaches of Mexico and if they happen to sneak back in again, do it again!! This has got to stop. We either have a country or we don't. It is that simple. Come in the right way or get out!!
