The California Assembly voted Tuesday to extend the state’s Medicaid program to eligible adults who are in the country illegally.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to spend about $98 million a year to cover low-income immigrants between the ages of 19 and 25 who are living in the country illegally. The state Senate’s budget proposal would also add coverage for people 65 and older living in the country illegally.
The state Assembly’s bill would cover all immigrants in California living in the country illegally over the age of 19.
But Newsom has raised concern about the assembly’s bill because it is estimated to cost more than $3 billion a year.
The bill passed 44-11.
The proposed law, Assembly Bill 4, goes next to the state Senate.
Great. Will they pay the tab for the working American citizens who pay a fortune in deductibles and copays and non covered costs for their families?
Didn’t think so.
Have at it CA, as long as not one dime of it is federal money.
President Trump should cut off all Federal Medicaid payments to California.
Well there is that extra money from the Bakersfield to Merced Hi-Speed Rail Project that Newsom doesn’t want to return.
Think of the chutzpah.
He says he knows they are committing crimes by being “here illegally” and defiantly allows it and also pays with taxpayer money for their care!!
If ICE says tell us where sanctuary city criminals to be deported again are located now, he defiantly says NO.
If a Kate Steinle gets killed, he’ll say “Yeah, I saw that on my 90 inch TV in my gated mansion guarded by armed security guys. Too bad. Victims ought to be more careful.”
I guess if they just increase the state income tax they will begin to only go another billion in debt per year to pay for this.
We voted in 1994 59-41% against ANY state “services” going to illegal aliens.
The Mexicans in the State Assembly have shredded the vote of the electorate along with the Federal Judiciary.
This is the ultimate denigration of citizenship in American history. The citizens of a foreign country have NO right to our taxes. ONE court decision - Plyler v. Doe - gave the right to attend school to illegal aliens. And that was supposedly because if you offered an entitlement to anyone, it has to go to everyone.
Prop. 187 was written to explicitly contradict Plyler. It was intended to provoke a Federal case. Instead of appealing 187 to the SCOTUS, Gray Davis killed it by letting its opponents negotiate with the State in the 9th Circuit Arbitration - both sides being opposed to 187. They all agreed to kill it and thus kill the Vote of the People.
We recalled Gray Davis because of that.
We can recall Newsom for the same reason.
How can illegal aliens be ‘eligible’ for anything ???
Agreed. Ruthless, chronic theft and reckless mismanagement of money that belongs to the taxpayers.
Its medicaid. Which means federal money is involved.
WHEN YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT, SOME PEOPLE DO THINGS!
“The bill passed 44-11.”
The Republicans have become a complete nonentity in CA.
It’s gotten so bad that Moonbeam was downright conservative compared to the inmates running the asylum now.
They’ve gone totally insane!
Every politician should have their pay reduced by 50%-75% to pay for aid to illegal border crossers. Doesn’t matter how they voted, they all need a stake in what they are voting on & should be made to know how it feels to the rest of the nation to pay out hard earned money to benefit those we have no financial responsibility to dupport.
An yet, I’ve worked all my life (still do), am a natural born American citizen and I have to pay for my Medicare, my Supplemental Ins and my prescription plan! What a travesty this is to every American citizen. This totally pisses me off.
Thank you for mentioning Plyler v. Doe.
After a little scratching about that case, please consider the following.
First, both President Thomas Jefferson and pre-FDR era generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices had indicated the following concerning so-called federal power to deal with INTRAstate schooling.
The states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution to give Congress specific power to dictate policy, regulate, tax and spend in the name of intrastate schooling before Congress could actually do so, something that the states have never done.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Next, regarding the Supreme’s so-called 14th Amendment (14A)-based right of illegal immigrant children to go to school, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had also clarified that the 14A did not add any new constitutional rights to the Constitution.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities [emphasis added]. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had.” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
Again, in the complete absence of express constitutional power to stick its big nose into intrastate schooling, post-FDR era, state sovereignty-ignoring Supreme Court activist justices wrongly created a fictitious constitutional right to school for both citizens and illegal immigrants when they decided Plyler v. Doe against the states imo.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA!
Corrections, insights welcome.
The citizens of California are already paying for illegal’s health care. The freeloader will get anything from a splinter to a bad cold and will sit in the ER for hours until they are serviced, then they walk out not paying the bill stiffing the hospital that has to recoup through its other patients.

Elected enemies of the state
” created a fictitious constitutional right to school “
And that’s all it was.
I remember hearing about it on my car radio in 1982 on my home from work.
Damn near ran off the road.
