California will soon pay the health care bills for low-income people 50 and older who are living in the country illegally, part of an expansion of Medicaid that aims to inch the nation’s most populous state toward Democrats’ goal of making sure everyone has health insurance.

This fries my hide. I have been paying the Medicare tax since 1966. I’m still working and pay about $3,000 per year Medicare tax. Medicare Part A is “free” but I get charged for Part B. My Blue Cross supplemental is another monthly fee as is my prescription drug plan plus vision plus dental. But if fifty year old Jose can sneak across the border tonight all his medical coverage is free

Californians would be much better off if they renounced their citizenship, went to Mexico and came back across the border as non-citizens.

The U.S. is a much bigger country, it might be harder for a dictator to control it. If states secede, maybe it will be different.

Democrats’ goal of making sure everyone has health insurance.


How about a goal of making sure everyone has water (including farmers) and electricity?

If I renounce my citizenship and acknowledge that I am unlawfully residing in the USA, will I become eligible for this grab bag of welfare goodies?

And, just so everyone understands...

100% of illegal immigrants are already eligible for emergency medical treatment at designated medical facilities.

And, 100% of pregnant illegal immigrants, and 100% of illegal immigrant children under age 18, are already eligible for full Medicaid coverage, which includes full dental coverage.

In other words, we are paying them to have Anchor Babies!

This fries my hide.


My mom lived and paid taxes in California from 1945 to her death in 2018—that’s nearly 3/4 of a century. She worked for at least 70 years. She had a long, full life for which I’m grateful. But when her final illness occurred, the state, county had no programs to help her. Her Social Security check was just too high.

The people I contacted were quite nice, but the rules said she was ineligible and there was nothing she could do. Now, I don’t resent her having to pay for her care, that’s what money is for, but the idea that someone who is in the country illegally will get free care...

Biden and the Democrats say, tough luck, suck it up.

Help me here, Artichokegrower. Are the words in the headline “undocumented immigrants” the same thing as “illegal aliens?”

I thought “Immigrants” were people who came here through Ellis Island or similar port of entry. They then are processed legally and are on their way to citizenship if they meet some basic criteria. But people who sneak into our country illegally are NOT immigrants at all.

Just sayin.’

#9. /SARC!! Re We have lost our justice system. I don’t see how we can fix this!!

Become a Democrat and do what they have done for generations, “Vote Early, Vote Often, Vote at many places”!! Nobody will come after you.

Just make sure you vote for Republicans on your “secret” (YEAH!) ballot.
