WFB: California governor Gavin Newsom on Friday announced his state spending plan to extend health care coverage to illegal immigrants who are seniors under California’s Medi-Cal program, a part of his most recent effort for statewide health care coverage.
“The Budget also moves the state toward universal coverage and furthers cost containment goals by expanding full-scope Medi-Cal coverage to low-income undocumented Californians aged 65 and above,” Newsom’s office wrote in a statement.
During his tenure, Newsom has proven his commitment to spend taxpayer money on partisan agendas. Last July, California expanded Medi-Cal coverage for low-income illegal immigrants between the ages of 19 and 26 after expanding coverage in 2016 for all children under the age of 18, including minors who are illegal immigrants. In October, Newsom signed a bill to force all public university campuses to provide abortion pills for students. read more
I can’t understand why the populace puts up with this crap. The people in CA are truly idiots.
If you can find them to give them benefits, you can find them to deport them.
Cloward-Piven, with a stooge like newsom to impliment it.
Do they get free water too?
I’m more than convinced that Newsom is a completely vacuous, vapid, and vain moron.
great plan! … I’m an illegal alien to Kali, due to the fact that I am not a legal resident there.
… I demand free Kali-Care!
Not sure what part of his bottom he pulled this from butt he should have comed his hair while he was at it. There must be some part of the word illegal he does not comprehend.
To ‘solve’ the homeless crisis they are mandating that cities build a certain number of housing units. So a dense area like Santa Monica is supposed to build several thousand additional units of housing. Because the state says so. How in the hell???
The taxes got worse under Brown. But the laws passed since Newsom has become governor are just atrocious – and the results are quickly becoming apparent.
You missed the state run prescription drug company coming down the pike. You can barely keep up with the insanity.

We just drove 750 miles through California : the roads are a disaster, and we never saw a single Highway Patrol cruiser the entire trip. Now we know why.
You Americans are a fine lot. You tsk tsk California and make jokes about it falling into the sea or walling it off from the rest of the states. You call it “Commiefornia” and laugh as those who can leave, do.
How easy you give up your sovereignty when you live elsewhere. How many more deep blue states will you surrender to unconstitutional state laws and authority? The state courts and the ballot has been compromised (Orange County is now blue!!??) Communism has invaded the U.S. and is building its foundations in California. You should worry more about how to take it back, not let it go!
@ Frustrated Brit
Everything Commiefornia does impacts all of America. Aren’t state Medicaid programs funded, at least in part, by all taxpayers?
All states share the programs of repression and the progressive agenda, through our taxes.
All states are victims of ILLEGALS being given ‘legal’ status, through the use of drivers’ licenses. The commie states say there are two different forms of licenses issued, but why are their DMVs registering the newly licensed, not vetted in ANY WAY, ILLEGAL?
When CA first flooded DMV offices by allowing ILLEGALS to be licensed, without any of the identity requirements, I wanted to get a second license without any vetting, fingerprinting, plus aid in cost and actual testing standards dropped.
If ILLGALS get a license, I should have two or three, so I can keep my points down; get free everything, several times over; AND have the right to state a different birthdate and description on each card.
I think I would even get a license for each of my pets! All listed as under 21, so I could declare them as dependents! And possibly get them treated through commifornia Medicaid!
Plus lower taxes. WIN WIN. Maybe I should move back to commifornia….. nah, FREEDOM IS SO MUCH BETTER, even if tenuous.
Blah Blah Blah. Everyone wants to keep giving up real estate. A losing thought process.
Frustrated Brit gets it.
Slick’s loaded with cash. He needs to pay all Kalifornians 10k dollars just for the heck of it.
I still maintain that California should be cut off of Federal funding.
My hard-earned taxes should not have to pay for these kind of outrageous actions!
cynic
You clearly do not know the leftist/liberal CARPETBAGGER the progressive GOP “leaders” importer t run against him!
Voters had an echo, no choice!
For the last 35 years the far left “leaders” of the GOP have been the problem!
