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.

Worth repeating.
Let’s kick California out of the Union and keep San Diego and turn that into 50th state because of their naval base.
no ... let’s keep all of california and drive out the commies ...
Correct. The fact is, this doesn't just affect Californian's. It affects the entire nation. The illegal aliens in CA that will get "free" healthcare will be paid by the nation. Medi-Cal is primarily funded by federal dollars.
Thanks for confirming that; that is what I thought.
Genesis 'Illegal Alien' (1983)
Suggested new wording for the chorus:
It's no SO fun, being an illegal alien!
Of course some of the lines are truer now, than they were in 1983. For example:
Over the border, there lies the promised land
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand
ESPECIALLY in Newsom's Californication! (AND, unfortunately, True-dope's Kanaduh!)
True.
Question to everyone: If this is really the “first” then what happens to the millions of illegals in the other states?
Don’t tell me they aren’t on welfare and are desperately contacting all the employers with openings to get honest jobs. Baloney. So how do they get welfare, health care and voucher housing? They are not in cardboard boxes starving at the curb.
Around 17-26 million illegals.
Gitmo should have been his next destination---not a multimillion dollar governor's mansion.
Classic liberal I N S A N I T Y at its very finest.
Just about the time one thinks they can’t be any crazier, they prove everyone wrong. Any sane, legit taxpayers in CA should be outright livid. All federal tax dollars allocated to CA should be withheld until further notice.
.....” illegal aliens in CA that will get “free” healthcare will be paid by the nation. Medi-Cal is primarily funded by federal dollars......
Thank you. So we’re all paying for California’s illegals Health insurance now. ....as usual they suck everything dry!
It’s all about votes for the Rats and that is all that matters. Too many over think this.
Yes. And the more people outside CA understand that this isn't isolated to Californian's, that it affects them as well and thus can't be ignored as someone else's problem...the better chance we have at actually fixing this madness.
