The budget includes a fine on people who don’t buy health insurance known as an individual mandate. The fines were initially implemented as part of the federal Affordable Care Act law known as Obamacare, but Republicans acted in 2017 to roll them back.

So if you are a citizen of the United States who happens to live in California you must acquire a health insurance policy regardless of need or affordability or you will be fined by the State of California. If you are an illegal alien living in California you will be provided with a taxpayer subsidized medical policy. Makes sense to me.

Well, illegals do have the coolest diseases

In before the CA FReepers remind the board that they make the most donations and to stop picking on their state. Plus their weather is beautiful and ours suck (Rather spend below-zero weather here in WI than to set foot in CA).

Lawmakers want to use an “extraordinary” state budget surplus

#FakeNews.

There is no “extraordinary” state budget surplus.

Gavvy the Soyboy and his minions can lie about it all they want.

let no dollar be left unspent...

The bill never seems to come due for these types of policy decisions. I can’t understand how that can be.

I feel like someone’s not telling the truth.

Recall his stupid ass.

Dems did similar things back in late 80's early 90's when they pushed for environmental laws that forced out a lot of manufacturing to other states, and with it, many republican voters. Many during that time foreclosed on their homes when aerospace work dried up with Clinton cuts to defense contracts. Many of those properties were then used(via subsidies)to house the illegals whom the dems opened the flood gates to during that time.

I know...I was there and experienced it.

The 'rat party are traitors.

But let's not give a pass to the cheap labor express Rep's...

...they are all garbage worthy of a noose.

Do U.S. citizens residing in California really want this? Even among just Hispanic residents who are legal it’s hard to fathom a widespread desire to pay for illegals’ health care.

[vpintheak]

WTH is wrong with leftists? They simply don’t give 2 craps about American working people. Period. And they keep voting morons into office!

[beethovenfan]

This is total insanity. Like Kalifornia is just rolling in dough. We need our state version of Trump.

[Vendome]

They already have access to health care as evidenced by their clogging of the hospitals and emergency rooms and doctors in the Box, as well, federal law mandates health care is available to everyone

now, you do have to pay for it

[ZOOKER]

Been hearing about rotating brownouts in areas prone to fire (supposedly the wind blows the wires together, causing sparks and fire).

If I was sweltering in a house with no power, therefore no A/C, I would be outraged that any state surplus was going to free healthcare for illegals, rather than repairs and upgrades to the grid.

Summer is just beginning, and so are the brownouts, so no one's complaining yet. That will change soon.

I wonder what will happen to California when the last taxpayer leaves?

[Boomer]

What about the record number of homeless in today’s California? Do they too get this “free” benefit paid for by all the working folks so they can continue to lay around drinking and shooting up drugs?

[NoLibZone]

Illegals will flock to ans stay in California.

I like this!

[Savage Beast]

It’s easy. Get yourself arrested by ICE sneaking into the US from Mexico, declare yourself an illegal immigrant, and PRESTO! FREE EVERYTHING!

[mewzilla]

Because Romneycare has worked so well for MA...

SNORT.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? Makes sense to sap-happy liberals.

<><> A US citizen in California must acquire health insurance policy regardless of need or affordability or the state will penalize you.

<><> An illegal alien living in California will be provided with a taxpayer-subsidized medical policy.

======================================

They’re here illegally, probably working off the books, paying no taxes. With a buncha sap-happy liberals doling out the money,
illegals can show up, lie about income and get Medicaid, while remitting US dollars to Mexico, to buy beachfront property in Acapulco.
