California Looks to Cover Illegal Immigrants Under Obamacare
The Daily Signal ^ | April 29, 2016 | Leah Jessen

In an unprecedented move, California legislators look to extend Obamacare health coverage to the state’s estimated 2.6 million illegal immigrant population.

If passed and signed into law, California would be the first state in the nation to request illegal immigrants be covered through a state exchange, the Los Angeles Times reported.

It is against the law for California to allow illegal immigrants to enroll in Covered California, the state’s Obamacare health insurance exchange, Sally C. Pipes, president and CEO of the pro-free-market Pacific Research Institute, told The Daily Signal in an emailed response.

"It is against the law for California to allow illegal immigrants to enroll in Covered California, the state’s Obamacare health insurance exchange"

"Brown already signed a bill that will allow illegal immigrant children to receive Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid welfare program for low-income individuals. Coverage will take effect in May."

The American people have been lied to yet again. We were told that Obamacare would not cover illegal aliens. That was obviously a lie.

Obamacare is already approaching bankruptcy. This will make the problem worse.

How can California still exist? It’s the land of fruits and nuts and free stuff for everyone.

Funny how liberal get up in arms over a bathroom bill in NC. But does the same type of thing in California but we just write articles. I wish conservatives would boycott California.

Every business should move out of California and the rest of the USA should do NOTHING when they have their inevitable economic collapse.

My apologies to the few Conservatives still stuck thrre. Leave while you still can.

The socialist states are constantly looking for ways to force the states that didn't implement Obamacare to subsidize them.

Go ahead and do it. Americans don’t care. Half of them don’t pay taxes anyway.

That picture gives me shivers.

He hisses his ssssss’s serpent-style.

When I hear about the latest outrage in CA, I keep thinking of Greece.

Here's a country that's struggling economically, won't tighten up its belt and live within its means, yet still thinks it deserves liberal retirement benefits. Its constant overspending and massive debt threatens to bring down the entire EU economy.

I'm not the first to see the similarities, but it bears repeating.

Congressman Joe Wilson was right, as all democrats and all republicans knew at the time.

Illegals have more rights and privileges than American-born US citizens, and our own government encourages it.

No worries. I’m sure Obama somehow changed the law all by himself.
