California hospitals that treat large numbers of poor patients would lose tens of millions of dollars in government aid if federal officials refuse to renew approval of a state health care program.
More than $300 million over two years for so-called safety-net hospitals, many of them in the Central Valley, is at stake.

Wrong. Anyone who supports the invasion of illegal aliens and hires them instead of American workers is to blame. The rest of us are stuck taking up the income slack and our %^^%&^ pols won't do a thing about it. Stop illegal immigration and throw out those already here. Period!
However-
When Davis and company fund in-state tuition for illegals I just have to shake my head.
California isn't the only state that has or soon will extend resident status to it's illegal alien students. That doesn't absolve us for having an idiot like that for governor. I hate to say this, but he's tame by our state's house standards. The idiots over there make him look like a member of the KKK.
The only thing worse than California being such a fowl state, is the idea of California as a springboard for other states. If the illegal alien problem takes Ca, they aren't going to stop at the Oregon, Nevada or Arizona border. And once those states have to go because their state legislatures and governors have gone south, the illeglas won't stop at the New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, or Washington border. On it goes. We either take a stand or simply hand over the keys to the US Capital now and get it over with. It would happen this century anyway.
People need to get their heads out, quit blaming California and start demanding their federal reps get serious. Otherwise it's only a matter of time before some smartmouth in the states north and east of you are saying the same thing about your state that they are of mine.
For the last 15 years I've been trying to tell people what was going to happen. All I got were smartmouthed comments from blithering idiots. If they can't seen the handwriting now, they're deaf, dumb and blind. Either that or they are traitors from the word go, and think Mexico should take over.
I don't "blame" California. I "blame" the 60% brain dead idiots and the enabling press that put Davis and company in charge and do not hold them accountable for their bizzre and dangerous decisions.
You are right. California is historically a harbinger of the nation's future.
God help us all.
That would consist of the dead, illegals, pets, and guilty white liberals.
After all, California HAS been too generous to people demanding their rights".
This administration has thrown the glove down. If they give in without a serious commitment by the state to tighten down and back off on their dumbass socialist agenda, it will never stop.
Am I holding my breath?
No
Those waits are already as long as 18 hours in some emergency rooms in the Los Angeles area.
San Joaquin General Hospital administrator Steve Ebert estimated that the French Camp hospital stands to lose $2 million to $3 million. The actual amount would depend on how the state distributes the money that remains after any federal cut, he said.
Meanwhile, the State of California has embarked on a $3 million project to remove ice plant used to prevent erosion at Southern California beaches and replace it with native vegitation. The ice plant, not native to the area, has been a fixture of the slopes leading down to the beaches for the past 50 years.
It's un-called for to call me a big mouth. The people in California voted for polititicians that insituted a "state" medical plan. Fine, that's your right. But don't expect everyone else in the country to pay for it.
Call it Medi-Cal, call it state fund #702, call it anything you like, my state, your state and every other state pays for these people. If your state is still a part of the union, then it pays for this stuff. And yes, it gets partially reimbursed by the federal government just like every other state. If you wish to fixate on Medi-Cal, jump up and down, slander us for ever adopting such a stupid plan, and assure yourself that your state doesn't have to pay these same types of fees, go ahead. It won't be true, you'll be in denial, but you have every right to think whatever you want.
The difference is, as I understand it, Med-Cal covers elective procedures where other states cover emergencies...
