California lawmakers try to extend ObamaCare to illegal immigrants

California is on the brink of becoming the first state in the nation to offer illegal immigrants the chance to buy insurance on an ObamaCare exchange — testing what’s being described as a "loophole" in the law.

The Affordable Care Act technically bars illegal immigrants from the insurance exchanges.

But the California bill, which last week passed the state legislature and was sent to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk, would allow the state to apply for a federal waiver to open its exchange — Covered California — to undocumented residents.

Why would they buy overpriced insurance with a $6000 deductible when they can go to the local ER for free?

California is no longer an American state. It’s now Mexico’s most northernmost and wealthiest state. While I don’t think Trump can win Cali in November he’ll do far better than expected. I have relatives in the OC and they and many Californians may finally be waking up!

“...offer illegal immigrants the chance to buy...”

Yeah. Buy. Riiiiight. The left has so subverted the language that “to buy” now means “to obtain at taxpayer expense.”

That is the question I am asking. Who would be dumb enough to buy an 0bamacare policy when they are used to getting things for free?

-——However, a provision in the law called the “innovation waiver” allows states like California to change portions of the law as long as the state makes coverage available to more people and as long as the federal government doesn’t get stuck footing the bill.-——

If uncle sugar isn’t going to pay for it, not that I believe that for a second, the citizens of California are going to have too....

I thought California exchanges were broke....?

They aren’t buying anything, they claim little or no income and go on Medicaid through the Covered California Website.

No need to leave the comfort of the Hacienda and stand in line at the Welfare Office.
