Hey, remember when Democrats were freaking out about conservatives saying that Dems wanted to give illegals all sorts of free healthcare? When they went off on Joe Wilson when he said that Obama lied regarding Ocare and illegals? Good times
New California law to provide subsidized healthcare for undocumented immigrants
Under the new law SB 104 California will offer government subsidized health benefits for undocumented immigrants under the age of 26.
Previously only undocumented immigrant children could apply. It’s part of new funding for MediCal.
Gov. Gavin Newsom says there will be “An additional $450 a month in subsidies reducing premiums by 25%. No state in America does that.”
To qualify, an applicant must make less than 138% of the federal poverty level, which is $17,200 for an individual and $35,500 for a family of four.
Guess who’s paying for this?
“The state has taken numerous steps over the years to accommodate people who are in the country illegally,” says Ira Mehlman from the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
He says the program will cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
“In Sacramento they continue to make choices that will further discourage the middle-class from remaining in California and further encourage more people to come and settle illegally,” says Mehlman.
This would actually seem to violate federal law, specifically 8 USC 1324.
If it’s what the Euros get, they’ll be running for home in no time.
