” California lawmakers are poised to make the state the first in the nation to expand Medicaid benefits to adult “undocumented” immigrants, at a cost of more than $3 billion per year to California taxpayers.”
Not only has California’s communists/socialists and progressives in government enslaved its citizens into financing the economic needs of illegal entrant’s children, now they want to extend that tax slavery to finance the health-care needs of adult aliens who have broken our laws and invaded America’s borders.
Will MS-13 adult gang members also be eligible?

There was a time not too long ago in New York when the able-bodied were ashamed to accept home relief, a program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was Governor. Now, New York City and many other major cities are infested with countless government cheese factions from poverty stricken countries who not only demand welfare, but use it to buy beer, wine, drugs, sex, and Lotto tickets.
"But Lara, the son of undocumented Mexican immigrants who grew up without health coverage, contended the state is already paying for health care for the undocumented in the most expensive way possible, through hospital emergency rooms. He pushed unsuccessfully for a single payer health plan for California last year, and argues California needs to be a laboratory for social change by taking the lead on progressive causes.
“We are trying to address the fact that, whether you like it or not,” he said, “our undocumented community needs the care, and we are paying for it anyway.”
-Are MS-13 adult gang members eligible for Medicaid?
-If Californians don’t like it, then vote in new politicians?
-It’s not slavery when the people choose to be part of the system by continuing to vote in politicians who will support measures like this. Slavery is not a choice. This would be a choice of the people, and if people there don’t like it, then they can pick themselves up by the bootstraps and move somewhere else.
I don’t care what you think. The economy of California is and will remain one of the best in the country. The reason it’s so expensive to live there is that so many people want to live there. So many people want to live there because there’s so much economic opportunity.
