Paying for illegals' 'free' health care by fining Californians who can't afford Obamacare

The leftists running California's one-party state have done it again. They've rolled out a $312 billion budget that includes $98 million for free health care for illegal immigrants under the age of 26. That's a dinner triangle to all able-bodied foreign nationals working off the books that the free ride is about to arrive.

According to the Sacramento Bee:

The leftists running California's one-party state have done it again. They've rolled out a $312 billion budget that includes $98 million for free health care for illegal immigrants under the age of 26. That's a dinner triangle to all able-bodied foreign nationals working off the books that the free ride is about to arrive.

According to the Sacramento Bee:

The expansion will take effect Jan. 1, 2020 and cost $98 million in the upcoming fiscal year. It will make California the first state to allow undocumented adults to sign up for state-funded health coverage.

The budget includes a fine on people who don’t buy health insurance known as an individual mandate. The fines were initially implemented as part of the federal Affordable Care Act law known as Obamacare, but Republicans acted in 2017 to roll them back. Newsom and legislative leaders say re-imposing the penalty at the state level will shore up the state’s health insurance marketplace and keep premiums from rising dramatically.

As if that $98 million is really going to cover it as migrants from Central America and beyond surge into the U.S. in record numbers, and five million from Latin America alone planning to enter the U.S. with or without papers.

California, remember, was quite convinced $39 billion would cover the cost of its famed bullet train up and down the state in 2008.

You know your state is a Mexican colony when the state government makes you pay for the health care of illegal aliens and fines you for not having insurance.

California is circling the drain faster & faster every day.

Only for those under 26 yrs of age. But since they have no documents, they’ll just have to take their word for it.

I wonder if anyone bothered to think about why so many people don’t opt to Buy Health Insurance??for my wife and I, the Cheapest Bronze plan is $1200 per month, $8000 deductible and they only pay 60% after that. That is OVER $20,000 a year before they cover ANYTHING!!!

Hey California, F#C* OFF!!!

Question: How is the State of California able to document the actual age of “undocumented” residents? Can’t they claim any age for which they could reasonably pass? And if challenged on it, what will be the criteria for declining the benefit?

Maybe Gavin Nobrain is trying drive the rest of the middle class out of California by taxing it out of existence. Say, isn’t that what the rest of the Democrat presidential candidates are planning?

Before Obamacare it was $200 a month, $10,000 deductible and they paid 100% up to $5 Million. Needless to say We don’t have Insurance, but Health Care is really CHEAP and Affordable when you actually PAY for it yourself. I pay about 20 cents on the Dollar of what My Doctor Bills Insurance for the same procedure or treatment

[Robert DeLong]

Have you looked into MEDISHARE?

I don't know anything about them, however, I do hear their commercials on Sirius/XM Patriot channel.

Kalifornia needs to tax the hell out of their people since they are too stupid to elect sane people.

[caseinpoint]

A lot of people owe Representative Joe Wilson a huge apology.

[SMARTY]

You can’t make this stuff up!

California is not a state anymore. One day,it will have to be made into smaller states or invaded by the Federal Government. it will probably just revert back to territory and California in name only. Why even fly the American flag? The union is dissolving.
