The debate about health care in the United States resonates in California, considering that over a third of all people in the state rely on Medi-Cal, according to data from the California Department of Health Care Services. But amid all the arguments and partisanship, it may be easy to lose track of who exactly is hit when cuts are made to the health program for low-income Americans.

About 80 percent of enrollees are not white, according to the 2017 data, with 48 percent Hispanic, 13 percent Asian or Pacific Islander, 8 percent African American and less than 1 percent American Indian or Alaskan Native. White Californians make up 20 percent of the enrollees.


But I thought open borders and unrestricted immigration was an overall benefit to California.

“But I thought open borders and unrestricted immigration was an overall benefit to California. “

It’s a matter of perspective. If you are a Democrat, unrestricted immigration is an advantage. If you are a conservative, however, it isn’t. See how that works?

Democrats in the body politic is like taking poison. Once you’ve taken it, even if you stop, it’s too late. The effects, like appointing appellate judges, live on until the body dies.

Now we need a study to show the racial makeup of who’s paying for their health care.

Boy am I confused, one day the Immigrants and Illegal Aliens are the very backbone of our economy and the next day they are the reason we are bankrupt. Go Figure.

And as the state of California slides into bankruptcy stage you'll still have lefties there blaming Trump and even W for their economic mess. Over 60 percent of Medi-Cal's enrollees are Hispanic and Asian. I don't think the Sac 🐝 will investigate this further and ask how many of these recipients are non-citizens. Can't go there. Why that would be racist to ask.

And yet 83% KNOW that they are citizens? Dear SacBee, how did MediCal determine that they were citizens? “Are you a citizen on the US” shakes head. There you have it. MediCal is not being abused by non-citizens!

So if 80 percent are non white an it also says 57 percent are 5 and under, what does that tell you?
Just as I always said. We’re taking care of their American born children for them.
Birthright citizenship is the worst change to ever happen to us demographically.

Yeah! Placer County had the lowest % of freeloaders. If Hillary had become President she would have sent thousands of refugees there to fix that.

So why is the Bee correlating counties with high % of medi- cal use with voting for Donald Trump?

One day, they tell us we should be thrilled to accept masses of illegals because they’re such wonderful, hardworking people with family values and they enrich us. The next day, they tell us white people deserve this curse of being flooded by illegals because they stole the land from Indians. So which is it? An enrichment or a curse?

It will get you about 3 million votes in the national tally so you can whine about losing the electoral vote but winning the illegal alien vote.

Here’s who they are and where they live

"Who they are" - a bunch of folks born in Mexico and Central America.

"Where they live" - in California, illegally.

And that's just the way US leftists like it. The US can't be conquered by any nation but itself.

It is true that kids born to mexican nationals, no matter where they are located, are citizens of mexico.
