California Could Become the First State to Expand Coverage to Illegal Immigrants Under Obamacare
The Daily Signal ^ | 6/5/2016 | Melissa Quinn

California state lawmakers are one step closer to expanding coverage under Obamacare to illegal immigrants, sending a bill to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk that would allow those living in the state to illegally buy health insurance on the exchange with their own money.

The California legislature passed a bill last week setting in motion a process to eventually allow illegal immigrants living in the state to purchase private health insurance through its state-run exchange, Covered California.

Illegal immigrants cannot and would not qualify for federal subsidies available to lower-income Americans under Obamacare.

Give them time to find a way.

Even the illegals are not dumb enough to spend their own money on 0bamacare without a subsidy.

Other people’s money to buy votes.

The problem is that with the government acting like Santa Claus, there won’t be any left for the people who paid or are paying into it and we will get screwed!

Wonder how they get around the social security number requirement? It is part of the application.

Oh, that's right, the illegals can use the stolen social security numbers that they obtained via identity theft for Obamcare, too.

As we all knew at the time, Obama was lying. The media covered for the Traitor-in-Chief. The Republican establishment was more worried about decorum than about protecting America. This is where rejection of the establishment and support for Trump came from.

Why stop with those here? Sign up their in-laws, cousins, neighbors and hairdressers back in Mexico. Free for everyone! With each policy, they get 4 ballots already filled out with Hellary’s name.

Basically, a married couple will get to pay $14,000 a year in premiums and the first $5000 of each’s medical care in on them.

Nobody is going to sing up unless they are already way sick.

Why would they when they can walk into any emergency room and get free care?

Obamacare is for stupid people, and Americans, who are now forced to buy it.

It’s hard to believe that conservative Republicans like John Wayne, James Stewart, Ginger Rogers, and others like that once lived in California. I do not mean to be silly and trivial in that way, but just the madness that seems to be going on there makes me think of something like that.

No subsidy, no purchase - period.

Which essentially means that California exchanges are making every single person in the entire world eligible for coverage. An illegal immigrant can be anyone - all they have to do is set foot here...then if Hillary is President, the entire world can get free healthcare from the American taxpayer.

Methinks the collapse could come very, very soon. Hello Venezuela.

With “their own money”? Really? After they cash their welfare check is that considered “their own money”?

Actually, it may be a good thing in disguise, because the more people who “use” the Obolacare, the quicker it will collapse. As for California, anything that hastens our financial collapse is a good thing.

Where have we heard statements like that before?

Oh yeah, like they don't get to vote too? Geez, just look at the hogwash they think we're stupid enough to believe.

Here’s what I mean:

More than 92,000 Coloradans will lose their Obamacare health care coverage in 2017 as four leading insurance companies scale back or eliminate their plans while others propose rate hikes of as much as 40 percent.
