California spent 9.5 billion on illegal immigrant healthcare.

This is ultimately what the left wants to see throughout the country. Bring them in, care and legalize them, voters for life.

I have no idea if the numbers are correct and I'm not arguing for or against but I remember Newsome saying something like it would be cheaper than the cost to hospitals that will go unpaid when they show up to emergency rooms because they don't have insurance.

That's what the OP is alleging and I feel like I remember it being true based on the comments I mentioned above.

State’s rights, amirite guys? If the world’s 5th largest economy wants to provide health insurance to undocumented migrants, who are we to judge them.

Found an article about it

"Immigration and health care advocates, who spent more than a decade fighting for the changes, have said the expanded coverage will close a gap in health care access and save the state money in the long run. Those who live in the state illegally often delay or avoid care because they aren’t eligible for most coverage, making it more expensive to treat them when they end up in emergency rooms.

“It’s a win-win, because it allows us to provide comprehensive care and we believe this will help keep our communities healthier,” said Dr. Efrain Talamantes, chief operating officer at AltaMed in Los Angeles, the largest federally qualified health center in California."

California is expanding health care coverage for low-income immigrants in the new year

California will soon become one of the first states to provide free health care to all low-income immigrants living in the state illegally.

Oh the horror of taking care of people. Good thing we have people like yourself who don't want any type of healthcare paid for by the government.

What about sending them back? Was that an option?……..

So they pay for illegal immigrants to have comprehensive healthcare and they don’t want you to have an ID to vote. What could go wrong?

Outstanding article and terrific explanation on how this works. Brilliant to give them free healthcare proactively for everything. God knows those ER trips add up. You guys will defend anything. This state is upside down. Businesses leaving every week, crime through the roof, completely mismanaged, yet the left is concerned with “expanded” healthcare for illegals (apparently the normal healthcare they get wasn’t good enough), and making sure they can vote.

So his argument is they don’t pay their hospital bills so the taxpayers in the state should subsidize their entire healthcare bill? That’s genius level stuff.

How bout pay your bill or we deport your ass.

I don’t like the horror of Americans who can hardly pay their bills being denied adequate health care because they either lack insurance or sufficient funds to pay for money over what is covered

SEND ALL THE ILLEGALS BACK AND HAVE THEIR COUNTRY PAY THEIR BILLS AND LETS HAVE AMERICANS TAKEN CARE OF BETTER

Hold up on the diatribe dude because I made it clear that I wasn't advocating for it, I was just answering your question. And lol at "making sure they can vote" because that's definitely not something I or anyone I know supports, but for the record, it wouldn't ensure a Democrat vote anyway as almost 50% of male Latinos voted for Trump last year.

Don't they end up paying for it anyway one way or another?
