May 29th, 2019

It’s as if California fought a war with some external enemy and lost.

Except, most Californians didn’t notice.

The California Assembly voted Tuesday to extend the state’s Medicaid program to eligible adults who are in the country illegally.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to spend about $98 million a year to cover low-income immigrants between the ages of 19 and 25 who are living in the country illegally. The state Senate’s budget proposal would also add coverage for people 65 and older living in the country illegally.

The state Assembly’s bill would cover all immigrants in California living in the country illegally over the age of 19.
