California becomes 1st state to give taxpayer-funded health benefits to illegal immigrant
Fox ^ | 7-9-2019 | Frank Miles

Posted on 07/09/2019 9:38:43 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., signed a bill into law on Tuesday making young illegal immigrants eligible for the Medicaid program in California, making it the first state to offer such taxpayer-funded health benefits to low-income adults age 25 and younger regardless of their immigration status.

State officials said they expected the plan to cover about 90,000 people and cost taxpayers $98 million. California already covered children 18 and younger regardless of immigration status.

The law will not give health insurance benefits to everyone 25 and younger, but only those whose income is low enough to qualify.

Free healthcare for non- citizens, but you will have to pay for yours. We are fast approaching the Communist 60’s dream of destroying America by signing so many up on welfare that it crashes the system.

If you are working for cash under the table, then obviously you would qualify as “low income”.

So every illegal alien will be eligible. Plus if you are an illegal alien, you can pretend to be 24 even if you are 65. You can just modify your stolen identity.

These people have no respect for the law. That’s why they are here.

You’re taking about a state whose Gov went to El Salvador in May and invite more illegal immigration. a st set with 3 high profile murders of citizens by illegals that will still not honor ICE warrants when they let illegals out of jail.

If legal majority California taxpaying citizen voters do not want the state to use their tax dollars to pay for health benefits for illegal aliens then the state providing is not providing its citizens with a republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution imo.
"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

H O W E V E R…

We're still stuck with a worthless Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably not lift a finger to do its constitutionally enumerated duty to protect California taxpayers from their renegade state government.

The remedy for dealing with constitutionally failed federal and state governments…

Patriots in the whole nation need to come to the rescue of oppressed California citizens by electing a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT's vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do the following.

The new patriot Congress also needs to promise to do its constitutionally enumerated duty to discourage states like California from screwing their citizens out of a republican form of government.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG!

Those working for cash under the table wire money back HOME.

They are “low income” because they choose to do without the cash they are taking in. They are banking it. Billions are wired to Mexico annually.

Does the funding for this come from state taxes or federal taxes?

Article states ‘only’ those whose income is low enough to qualify. Which would be welfares ‘Medicaid’ for those 25 and younger. So they just extended the age from 18 to 25.

Somebody check my math. Does that add up to roughly $1000.00 per person? If so, there is no way in heck it will ‘only’ cost a $1000 per year. That is like $90 per month.
