About 40,000 low-income adults living in the country illegally won’t lose their government-funded health insurance over the next year under a new policy announced Monday by California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration.

California already pays for the health care expenses of low-income adults 25 and younger, regardless of their immigration status. A new law scheduled to take effect in January 2024 would extend those benefits to cover all adults who, but for their immigration status, would qualify for the state’s Medicaid program.

It’s criminal.

The Democrat Party versus the American people. Again.

Just one thing.
They aren't "immigrants".
They're criminals.

“California to protect health benefits for young immigrants” and mandating all receive “gender affirming” treatment.

You’ll never see people beat a path to the exits so fast.

They ain’t young. From the article:

“But between now and when that new law takes effect in 2024, about 40,000 young adults who already have Medicaid in California are expected to lose their benefits because they are older than 25.”

When I was 25 I was working full time plus and had to pay up front at the local Catholic hospital for the birth of my kids.
