CA Dems Begging Gov. Newsom to Extend Health Insurance Coverage to Even More Illegals

Rather than address the state’s raging homelessness crisis and surging crime, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats are pushing to expand taxpayer-funded health insurance coverage for illegal aliens.

Medi-Cal is the liberal state’s Medicaid program. California already provides Medi-Cal coverage to illegal aliens until they turn 26.

Under Newsom’s new budget proposal unveiled Friday, the state would also offer taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal aliens age 60 and older, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The plan would take effect in May 2022 if Newsom gets his way.

The embattled governor hailed his proposal as a “milestone on the path toward universal health coverage.”

Predictably, the $859 million expansion of Medi-Cal coverage for elderly illegal aliens isn’t enough for many Democrats. They want to go further.

“Our ultimate goal is everyone,” state Sen. Maria Elena Durazo said, according to the Times. “We are going to keep on pushing to include more uninsured.”

  1. This is what is wrong with CA and our country now. Maybe, just maybe, CA will somehow drop off into the ocean and drown.

  2. And my husband and I pay almost $600.00 a month for supplemental insurance to Medicare . Where is the fairness in this?
