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.

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.
