Rural, urban, with or without papers, expanding this program would bring #Health4All

At first look, the city of Long Beach and county of Fresno could not seem any more different.

But whether you’re a farmworker or an urban worker, there’s one struggle many people in our districts share: the human cost of being undocumented and uninsured.

One in 10 California workers is undocumented, and one in six children in our state has a parent who is undocumented. Ensuring healthcare coverage for all Californians not only strengthens the health of our state’s workforce, but will move the entire state forward.

Immigrants play a vital role in all aspects of California’s social, economic, and cultural life. They are our neighbors, family members, community members, and coworkers. Just like other Californians, they should be able to access a routine check-up with a doctor, medical care when they get sick, and affordable follow-up care to prevent treatable conditions from becoming life-threatening.

From rural to urban, immigrants are part of California’s heart and soul. Now is the time to deepen our commitment to the values of inclusion and opportunity, which will move the Golden State forward. Our communities are healthier when we invest in our state, and California should lead in this to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Not only are the idiots at the Sacramento Bee okay with having ten percent of the population be foreign invaders...they want to t give them taxpayer funded healthcare.

Maybe it isn’t the treasonous politicians who should be swinging from lampposts.

So GO HOME, ALREADY.

(In the traditional pine box is OK by me, too.)

It would be cheaper to deport them.

No frigging warning on this article?! I now have to clean the barf off my passenger seat before my wife gets here. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, let’s pay medical bills for all the ILLEGAL folks here. After all, we’ve provided complete health care for all the citizens and we have all of this money left over, even though all those lib states have billions of dollars worth of uncovered pensions.

CW-II cannot start soon enough.

“one in six children in our state has a parent who is undocumented...”

It means one in six children in California are not US citizens and should never be allowed to vote regardless if they were born here.

Whenever an article uses “worker” as many times as this one does, I immediately suspect a Marxist is doing the writing. A sophomoric Marxist, but a Marxist trying to overthrow the Constitution, nonetheless.

So GOPe farmers like them some cheap labor? Surprise! And they’ll ally themselves with open borders DemonRATs to tax the rest of us to pay for medical care for their cheap labor/DemonRAT voters (see Cali’s voter registration and drivers licenses for illegals).

[catnipman]

hey, what’s another annual hundred billion dollar deficit? And if you don’t want the deficit, then it’s certainly easy enough to quadruple the tax rate for those few left in the state that actually pay taxes ...

You are the BEST at these stabbing, attention grabbing, one picture says everything that needs to be said. Of course the Goebbels one is still my favorite, but this one was incredibly effective.

We already do pay the medical bills of ALL the illegals. They cannot be denied service in an ER. So, how does the hospital recoup that money. Either, try to bill Medicare or charge us $10 for an aspirin or charge $30,000 for a $2500 procedure.

Watch these two videos and you’ll see what I mean..

I haven't evolved as far as you have yet.....When I see “worker”in articles like this I think...OK..show me your Tax Returns...Then we'll talk about your status in our country...
