Cities all the way from Denver to New York City have appropriated American resources to give free housing, free education, free activities, and free universal health care to people who came into the nation illegally.
Even though Senator Kamala Harris initially backed these actions, patients and US taxpayers should not have to bear the associated financial and human costs. Though Senator Kamala Harris supported these measures at the time, there are human and financial costs involved that should not be borne by patients or American taxpayers. However, under the pretense of “compassion,” six states plus the District of Columbia employ devious accounting and funding techniques to achieve precisely that.
California’s SB 184 makes all undocumented immigrants, including those between the ages of 19 and 64, eligible for the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, starting on January 1, 2024.
Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, boasted that California will be the first state in the US to offer universal health coverage, regardless of legal status, if the bill passes.
The shift is expected to cost $3.1 billion annually and add, at most conservatively, 700,000 adult illegal immigrants who reside in California’s sanctuary communities to the Medi-Cal rolls. And how is the cost of California covered? State Medicaid fraud is the only way that federal taxpayer money is being laundered.
