California will become the first state to remove immigration status as a barrier to health care, making all low-income undocumented residents eligible for state-subsidized insurance regardless of age.
Gov. Gavin Newsom late Sunday announced a budget deal he struck with the Legislature included a new Medi-Cal expansion that would cover more undocumented adults.
The program’s launch, starting no later than Jan. 1, 2024, is expected to provide full coverage for approximately 700,000 undocumented residents ages 26-49 and lead to the largest drop in the rate of uninsured Californians in a decade.
“This historic investment speaks to California’s commitment to healthcare as a human right,” said Sen. María Elena Durazo, D-Los Angeles.
The state already allows many undocumented residents to join Medi-Cal. In 2015, California began allowing undocumented children to join Medi-Cal. Four years later, eligibility broadened to those younger than 26. And in May, the state started covering people aged 50 and over.
The MediCal expansion is expected to cost $2.6 billion annually.

In the first year it will “unexpectedly” cost another billion more than planned.
You are trolling....
Why the heck are YOU here,,,starting BS??
Hey, everyone across the country and the world!!!! Free health care in California!
I hope California taxpayers have fun picking up the health care tab for every single citizen of mexico....and central America and Honduras, and Panama, and everyone in South America, and...
“The MediCal expansion is expected to cost $2.6 billion annually.”
For the first 10 minutes, maybe.
The forgot a ZERO-—In the last 60’s==into the 70’s, it was acknowledged that more than 10 million INVADERS were already in Calif.
More like 7 MILLION.
A recall is a step in the right direction, but even here in O.C., I think conservatives are now outnumbered.
FREE health care for EVERYONE .............................until the money runs out.
Yes, it is BS so why don’t the people on the left realize after all these years the Dems have been using this “phrase” they are still ignorant to the real meaning and end game?
If the undocumented get insurance does that make them documented?
so they want more covered california members do they.. good luck just why will it take 1 1/2 yrs to get started??
I think it's okay if we say BOSS here, special.
Good for the tax payers of California. So liberal of them to give over half their paycheck to the state, through violent force, to assist those in want of free stuff. Give until you cant, the California will kill you for resistance against the state. Remember to get your vax and wear a mask. Not the illegals because it would insensitive to expect law abiding behavior from them.
In. June 2021 we spent about twelve hours in an ER in San Diego for a legitimate emergency issue. The reason it took so long was because of all the people using the ER as a primary care facility. This will only make it much much worse.
By the way, wasn’t O Care supposed to stop the use of ER’s for primary care?
Aren’t you a cute newbie. Are you posting from California or the FIB? Crazy newbs that snap so early need to be faster than me when Mittens got the nomination. Opps did I say that out loud. Hey newbie how’s it going.
Hey white, middle class people of California, hows that democrat vote working out for ya?
Good! Now the invaders can leave Texas and move to cali! Someone needs to start buying billboards across the nation and pointed the invaders straight to California for all the freebies and goodies! Freakin INSANITY!
Nay it ain’t gonna happen...toooo much corruption and fraud! The only way out of all of this mess is to start calling this nation for what it has become “THE DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA .“ I long for my beloved Texas to secede!
Welcome Home to you and the Mrs. Uniqueness the regions, lots of good places to call home.
Best wishes.
Is that how you spell “dick”
