California Poised to Give Illegal Immigrants Free Healthcare
Townhall | June 10, 2019
California will soon make history as the state is set to become the first in the nation to give free healthcare to some illegal immigrants.Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats in the state legislature reached an agreement to allow low-income individuals between the ages of 19 and 25 who are in the country illegally to be eligible for Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. While it’s not all we sought, it will provide a real tangible difference for people, especially for those around and below poverty and for middle income families who don’t get any help under the federal law, said Anthony Wright, executive director of advocacy group Health Access, Fox News reports.
