Many working undocumented immigrants won’t qualify for state health insurance even if they don’t earn a living wage. That leaves them with few viable options for coverage.

On May 1, about 235,000 undocumented people aged 50 and older will gain new access to Medi-Cal under a law signed last summer. A second proposal, unveiled in Newsom’s January budget, would include another 700,000 undocumented adults in the 26 to 49 age group, starting as early as 2024, if approved in this year’s final budget. Children and young adults are already eligible.


Get across that border and it is the land of plenty. Before my wife and I went on Medicare we were paying $32,000 per year for insurance. With Medicare I am still paying $12,000 per year for main coverage and all of the supplements. I am still working and pay $4,500 Medicare tax. "F" all of these illegals.

NONE of these ILLEGAL INVADERS can properly fill out a form I-9 to even gain employment in the USA. FEDERAL law requires such.

EVERY single one that is working anywhere in the USA is stealing a job from an American ...and they fill out a W-4 with 9 dependents so they don’t pay any income taxes.

I have seen such with my own eyes when I was a payroll supervisor in the 1970’s.

It hasn’t gotten any better-—

The bills for all their health care should be sent to their countries of origin. If they don’t pay those bills, that amount of money should be taken away from whatever US aid they receive.

If we just reduced the Salary of Every Public Employee by 25% there would be enough extra money to give them health care
