California becomes first state to offer health insurance to ALL illegal migrants: Taxpayers will be

It’s offering them an opportunity to buy insurance. Did you even read what you posted?

 

True. But it does still say it expects to cost the state 3.1 billion per year. I assume in subsidies. Haven't read the article

 

Adding 700,000 people to the 14.6 million they already serve sounds like a 5% increase on top of what they already spend ...

 

Yes, it’s the subsidies. Similar to the ACA. Isn’t it better to have them pay in and use other points of contact as opposed to the ER?

Also, whether folks want to admit it or not, California NEEDS that labor in the fields and a healthier work force is a positive. I would suggest that people drive through the Central Valley to really understand how big the industry is in California.

 

My guess is even if they pay in or are put on the rolls they're still gonna use the ER. I don't think illegals are going to schedule doctors visits. I've got legal employees that don't even do that. It's all ER for everything. They don't even know how to use the system.

One of my employees didn't know how the dentist worked. How to make an appointment, pay, etc. It's just a different world for them that they didn't grow up with.

 

I don’t know who you think you are fooling posting Daily Mail articles through a msn aggregator. You do it often though.

This is a great move. Here is a balanced report.

California becomes first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants

California will welcome the new year by becoming the first state to offer health insurance for all undocumented immigrants.

Starting Jan. 1, all undocumented immigrants, regardless of age, will qualify for Medi-Cal, California's version of the federal Medicaid program for people with low incomes.

Previously, undocumented immigrants were not qualified to receive comprehensive health insurance but were allowed to receive emergency and pregnancy-related services under Medi-Cal as long as they met eligibility requirements, including income limits and California residency in 2014.

In 2015, undocumented children were able to join Medi-Cal under a bill signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown. In 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law an expansion of full-scope Medi-Cal access for young adults ages 19 through 25, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Access was then further expanded to allow older adults aged 50 and older to receive full benefits, also regardless of immigration status.

 

I'm sorry but according to the boards favorite media bias rating site ABC news is a pretty heavy lean left source.
BTW what is an undocumented immigrant, isn't that a feel good term for illegal alien? Don't most Federal laws refer to them as illegal aliens?

Do you really believe any of these numbers which they say will cost an extra $3.1 a year for 700,000 more people to get subsidized health insurance. But the article says over 1.5 million illegals are crossing over the border every single year See... the math does NOT add up. It's band-aide compared to what they really will need for all their healthcare needs/expenses.

Edit: I was in the middle of typing my response when the wife brought me my dinner. I lost my concentration and just hit enter.....eating is more important than too hot anyway......hope that explains the incomplete sentence.

 

Righties have already shown they don't understand math. They still rail about the Mueller investigation costing millions though their forfeitures and seizures from the Trump mafia members exceeded the outlays.

The math here is that spending $3.1B will likely produce triple or more than that in other health cost savings.

 

Funny... I must have missed that news cycle about all that. But nice that you still have too much Trump on your brain to concentrate on this story.

 

It’s pretty clear Democrats want to incentivize illegal immigration. The only question is “why?” If it is to expand their voter base, it’s like a Ponzi scheme, because as soon as illegals become legal, they want to turn the spigot off. If it is to fuel future economic growth and superpower status, I would argue there are much cheaper ways to incentivize natural birth rate and expand merit based immigration. But then we’d have to be a nation of laws and that’s a challenge these days.

 

For example, imagine if we offered >=98th percentile students abroad and at home Medicaid for life. If they choose to reproduce, their children are covered by Medicaid for life. Cap children at 4 and ration the cost if parents have more than 4. Not only would we attract top tier immigrants, but it would incentivize the best and brightest here at home to reproduce. Don’t kill me on specifics.

 

These Dems seem to think that we just invent some feigned indignation at the drop of a few words that sound something close to free healthcare for illegals.

Again their math is off. They mentioned 3.1 billion dollars subsidies for only 700k illegals. That same article said they get over 1.5 million new illegals a year... In 4 years that's 6 million new illegals.

If we do the math for 6 million people and not just 700k that subsidy comes to around $26.57 billion dollars that state people of California will have to fork over.

 

If anyone thinks this is not a step to get them to vote Democrat you are delusional
