Rapper 50 Cent slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom over the decision to use taxpayer money to fund health care for illegal aliens.
Undocumented immigrants of all ages will qualify for Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for extremely low-income people, San Jose Inside reported.
“I don’t understand this, this it going to cost 2.6 billion dollars for tax payers,” 50 Cent said in a Wednesday Instagram post.
“They don’t even give veterans health insurance.”
“[MSNBC anchor Ari Melber] call my phone now, help me understand this S***. WTF.”
The rapper also included an image of California Governor Gavin Newsom in his post with the caption, “California Becomes First US State to Offer Health Insurance to All Illegal Migrants.”
California expanded health insurance to about 700,000 illegal aliens between the ages of 26 and 49, all at the cost to the American taxpayer.
More than 2 million encounters of illegal migrants crossing the southern border were recorded in the fiscal year 2023, according to data published by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Former Gov. Jerry Brown (D) set the precedent in 2015 when he signed legislation that allowed illegal migrant children to qualify for Medi-Cal.
Newsom expanded that coverage for illegal aliens ages 19 to 25 in 2019.
Now taxpayers will have to cover illegals ages 26 and 49.
Newsom’s office told ABC News of the latest expansion:
“In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage — regardless of income or immigration status.”
“Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it.”
Hey illegal aliens...head to California now! Free healthcare for your families and all the welfare you want! Tell your “host” cities that you want free transportation to CA today! Hey Gov. Abbott...you know what to do!
Somewhere between 2025 and 2030, there’s going to be some serious begging of California to the federal gov’t....that they can’t cover healthcare, pensions or basic fire/police salaries.

Agreed. And if the Democrats cheat their way to another presidential “win” in 2024, California politicians just might get what they want.
But what about Congressional Republicans? Won’t they object? They’ll probably cut the wish list by 5%, declare victory, then get out of the way.
He just needs to pay his fair share and be quiet.
“They don’t even give veterans health insurance.”
Glad somebody is pointing that out. With inflation he should change his name to Two Bits.
Too bad! They had their chance to replace Gruesome Newsom with someone like Michael Shellenberger. (One of the good guys, for a liberal)
Sorry. Not sorry.
Hey, Kalifornia! Let me pour you a tall glass of get over it. Oh, and here’s a straw so you can suck it up!
IF?!?
Newsom just lost the ‘two for a dalla’ vote.
