They have it now, idiot! Anyone who shows up at a hospital ER will receive medical care, thank to the EMTLA, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

You got that right. I work in a hospital ER in southern NJ. I see it all the time. Illegals come in, no habla English, no insurance. Late model pickups though. But no insurance, no money. But they get treatment.

Absolutely true. What has happens in states like California is that hospitals eat the costs of care for those who have no insurance, and this gets passed on to everyone else. What the left are really doing is forcing the American taxpayer to foot the bill for this - instead of it coming from the state budgets.
