That's insane.
What's insane is how California can provide medical care to illegal immigrants but red states can't even provide it for their citizens.
Kind of put things into perspective where's the better place to live. That's why California is so expensive while places like Oklahoma are not.
Supply and demand, lol.
What's insane about it? Undocumented immigrants deserve healthcare too, and we should all expect public healthcare in a general sense.
Dude confused "amazing" with "insane."
This is just good cost saving. Everyone has healthcare in the US. It's called the emergency room. It costs 100x what healtchare should and has terrible outcomes compared to early preventive treatment, and is a terrible experience for the patient to boot.
Getting any group of people on preventive care is just smart in general, regardless of who they are.
He's one of those "people are more human if they come from my country" folks.
Probably thinks people are more human if they share his skin color, too.
One looks through their comment history says otherwise. It just easier to demonize someone you don't agree with.
Also I agree with them. Just saying its ass backwards that an illegal immigrant has better healthcare than an actually citizen doesn't automatically mean illegal immigrants should have no healthcare
It's not better. Now they simply qualify for the same program every other California resident can have.
