California’s health care exchange is requesting that it be allowed a waiver from ObamaCare regulations in order to allow illegal immigrants to buy insurance on the exchange – which would make California the first state to extend ObamaCare to illegal immigrants.

In a Sept. 30 letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, Covered California’s Executive Director Peter Lee said that the Affordable Care Act has been “tremendously successful” in the state and has cut the rate of uninsured in half.
“While millions of Californians have benefitted from coverage purchased through the Covered California marketplace, certain individuals are prohibited from buying insurance through our state marketplace due to their immigration status,” Lee wrote, before requesting the waiver.

Ok by me. If the illegals want to pay high prices for crummy coverage go for it. Kind of stupid of them. They now get their medical for free.
We all knew this was going to happen, and every damn one of them will have their premiums “subsidized,” or in other words paid by the American taxpayers.
Sorry, Jim. California’s dead. I got out of there back in 1979, as the writing was on the wall even back then. The Democrats destroyed paradise, and California WAS paradise. It is one of the many reasons I hate Democrats with a visceral passion.
They held a competition for which state cold claim the title of the Illegal Immigrant State. Hands down, the winner is: Mexifornia! It is also the Undocumented Demonrat State.
Right you are. My traditional medical plan from a fortune 500 company in California costs about 16K per year, mostly paid by the company. An inferior Obama plan with higher copays and deductibles and a smaller network of doctors costs 24K without subsidies. Not even US citizens would go for that, much less an illegal immigrant. Of course if this is approved within a week they will be demanding the illegals get subsidies. That is how liberals work, always incrementally.
Even Bill Clinton knows that Obamacare is a bust. Get a clue Liberals.
Good luck paying for that shit by hard working folk trying to feed their kids,
Trying to provivde health for (their family) instead of some f-ng wet back.
WTF,
Has all calif gone stupid liberal like Santa Monica?
