Yes, it is and to charge doctors who already get approximately $16 for an office visit to treat a Medi-Cal patient 2 - 4% of their gross for the privilidge of living and working in California, is wrong as well. Plus adding what adds up to an additional 4% payroll tax on all workers in the State, too... all makes me glad we moved. Oh, and the insult: to reduce what citizens, who happen to live in California and are on welfare, receive to help pay for insurance for illegals is terrible..... I am not a fan of welfare, just the whole premise is so flawed.
One GOP California State Senator said this was turning California into an HMO for Mexico and I think he was accurate. Perhaps, if they want to really push the law, they should create Workfare instead of Welfare in California and put all the strong, healthy, men who are on welfare into a work program for their checks, including picking fruit or other crops.
put all the strong, healthy, men who are on welfare into a work program for their checks, including picking fruit or other crops.Except are there any "strong, healthy men" on welfare? I think not. Almost all male welfare recipients are addicts, alcoholics or mentally ill. Or, in the case of CA, illegal immigrants.
