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.

You KO'd nobody,,,,,
My state isn’t paying for it. Clown
Hey - what happened, happened. Was the election contested? Were there ‘suspicious’ ballots like in 2020? The 2020 election was pure fraud, stolen. I watched 2000 Mules.
What are you doing here?????
Reminds me about the frog in hot water. Little by little!
BTW, have you noticed that since Obamacare was implemented, it takes quite a long time to get an appointment to a doctor and many months to get a procedure done. Kind of like in Canada or Europe?!
Doctor Lines in CA will get even longer!
But, it may give President Trump a great list of people who could be deported immediately!
Trigger the last remaining hold outs and the massive migration out of California, of all the taxpayers, when their taxes go through the stratosphere to pay for all of it.
This is just going to increase the human tsunami’s of illegals.
One silver lining if I were Texas or Arizona, I’d have signs along the river and at all the border crossings, directing everyone WEST-to California- for free medical care.
Alinsky has nothing on Newsome and the Cali legislature.
You are approaching troll town.....
The MediCal expansion is expected to cost $2.6 billion annually.....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
When they all hear they can get free medical care, the waves of illegals headed there will be epic. I’d say the number will be at least 5x times that, if not more.
You did everything of the sort. I have carefully reviewed my original post and your response to it. I made no mention of cheating “at elections” or anywhere else.
Then maybe the voters should have voted out Newsom. Not my fault you live in a shitty state
“Not an investment but an expense. I don’t know why Democrats can’t keep those two things straight.”
It’s an old huckster saleman’s metaphor to get people to more willingly hand over the cash.
You’re not pi$$ing money away on an extravagant needless item but rather you are making an “investment” in your long term future happiness. 100% bullsh!t.
