About 700,000 adults between ages 26 and 49 will be eligible as of Jan. 1

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.

Previously, undocumented immigrants were not qualified to receive comprehensive health insurance but were allowed to receive emergency and pregnancy-related services under Medi-Cal as long as they met eligibility requirements, including income limits and California residency in 2014.

Still mad about the time my income was equal to rent plus like $500 so I didn't qualify for medi-cal. With my health conditions, on the cheapest plan, $1000+ a month. Fucking california, garbage place.

I feel like you are mad at the wrong organisation.

So you're saying that high prices of rent and health insurance are not the responsibility of the regulatory framework that was explicitly designed for profit maximization?

[-] Chriswild@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I don't know of a state that really regulates rent and health insurance. You'd see similar expenses in basically all expensive regions of the US.

What are building height limits if not a device to artificially reduce housing supply?

And yes it is the same everywhere in the US, that's why I left the US

Good thing California is one of the few states trying to fix zoning.

[-] theblueredditrefugee@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 10 months ago

Lmao zoning in California has only gotten worse over the past 10 years. 90% of houses in the SF bay area are on lots so small it'd be illegal to build them these days.

Yeah, it wasn't enough to have building height limits, now they have lot size minimums for single family homes. Because god forbid someone live in an apartment in a walkable neighborhood
