* Perhaps there is a method to Gavin 's madness.For one the article says " those who qualify " meaning you probably have to have a job but the cost exceeds your paycheck. I can't imagine the State simply giving free HC to all. Even citizens in this State have to pay into the system. Everything comes with a price.

The state has a $68 billion deficit. The price will be, legal citizens taxes will go up to pay for the free health care of people here illegally who never paid a dime into the system.

Per google. California will welcome the new year by becoming the first state to offer health insurance for all undocumented immigrants. Starting Jan. 1, all undocumented immigrants, regardless of age, will qualify for Medi-Cal, California's version of the federal Medicaid program for people with low incomes. 12 hours ago

I think this comment from the article sums up how people feel.

I work full-time. I have 3 children.  I don't qualify for free healthcare even though I'm a widowed mom because I work longer hours to pay for my kids, giving me a higher taxable income. My company does not offer health coverage.. they pay 30% of my monthly payment.

It just makes me so angry that I am struggling and people come here into the country and sail away with free health coverage... While I struggle to pay my bills and work a sixty hour week just about breaking even. I'm in my 40s paying taxes for 26 years. We have no money for luxuries. I don't know what is happening to this country.
As an american, I am standing by like many others watching our once great country fall apart.

* The article said " if they qualify." Besides,  these folk are Working, they not unemployed & simply getting freebies. That's the mistake people make, thinking undocumented folks are simply crossing the border & taking up panhandling. Who do you think is picking your strawberries out in the fields etc? I don't see Whites, blacks or Asians out doing those jobs.

If they qualify. They are unable to qualify because they have jobs where they earn above Medi-Cal’s annual income thresholds for most adults: $17,609 for single people, $23,792 for a couple and $36,156 for a family of four. 
25.3 million people in the US, don't have health insurance. Compared to the 2 million farmworkers in the United States. But hey lets take care of people here illegally first.
They are not all Hispanic either. https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-labor/

Total effing hypocrites!
