California becomes 1st state to give taxpayer-funded health benefits to illegal immigrant

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., signed a bill into law on Tuesday making young illegal immigrants eligible for the Medicaid program in California, making it the first state to offer such taxpayer-funded health benefits to low-income adults age 25 and younger regardless of their immigration status.

State officials said they expected the plan to cover about 90,000 people and cost taxpayers $98 million. California already covered children 18 and younger regardless of immigration status.

The law will not give health insurance benefits to everyone 25 and younger, but only those whose income is low enough to qualify.

“State officials said they expected the plan to cover about 90,000 people and cost taxpayers $98 million. “

BWAHAHAHA! It will be well over 1,000,000 and cost over $10 billion.

Mexico’s economy specifically counts on the wire transfers of billions

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I trust there is none of my tax dollars in this.

[a fool in paradise]

You are correct that illegal immigrants aren’t exclusively Mexican or possiblt even majority Mexican. Extrapolate the financial receipts of Mexico to see just how big an issue this is.

Budgets? We don’t need no steenking budgets!

[sheana]

You people crack me up! Apparently you don’t know how stuff works. This table is from 2015 but California received $54.7 billion from the feds for Medicaid. So yeah, you’re paying for it too.

"Not “we”.

California."

Oh no, it very much is "we."

The illegal aliens in CA get Medi-Cal...which is the state's Medicaid...which is funded primarily by federal tax dollars.

So even if you don't live or pay taxes in CA, you are in fact helping to pay for illegal aliens in CA to get Medi-Caid funded healthcare.

And don't think for a nano-second that this stops in CA. It will be a race between New York and perhaps New Mexico, Illinois, Oregon, Washington and any of the New England states to see who will be 2nd...and then 3rd...and then....

“...that will predictably not lift a finger to do its constitutionally enumerated duty to protect California taxpayers from their renegade state government.”

Well, I dunno, it seems to me that Californians will not lift a finger to protect themselves from their renegade state government either.

A defense budget is necessary to maintain our posture and readiness against our enemies who wanna wipe us out.
Why do the traitors in the Neo-Communist pro Russian Pro Islamic fascist American Paleo Conservative movement insist upon in aiding and supporting the Communist Democrats agenda in destroying our defense capabilities? Never mind I already know.

[Rennes Templar]

Only 90,000? More like 2 million will get it.

“The law will not give health insurance benefits to everyone 25 and younger, but only those whose income is low enough to qualify”

Because there are so many multi-millionaire illegal immigrants running around California.

"Well, I dunno, it seems to me that Californians will not lift a finger to protect themselves from their renegade state government either."

Thats why us patriots need to enlighten Californians and people in other states about constitutional limits on the powers of federal and state governments.

Title should read..

California citizens are ‘required to forfeit’ their paycheck wages to pay for illegals health Insurance.

[Missouri gal]

That’s my concern, because I’m pretty sure federal tax dollars go into these programs. That means you and I being taxed to fund our own downfall. However, it also means the feds can reject this if they have the guts to do so, in the inevitable face of “cruelty to children” rants.

[bgill]

Blah, more CAians will be moving into TX.

Come on, can’t we start the wall on CA’s eastern border?

[southernindymom]

Yes, let them all go there. I have no desire to ever step foot in the place.

[jurroppi1]

yes, 1,088 / person per year assuming that is the time-frame being discussed in the article.

[veracious]

A US state is now a multi-national government. Being more interested in foreigners moving, living and becoming wards of the state. At the expense of USA citizens. A US government not representing We-The-People or our law or our well-being.

“Well, the invaders will now focus on California. Good luck with that.”

that’s what i was thinking too ... minus the “good luck” part ...
