The left-wing state of California can’t seem to find enough free things to give away to lawbreakers who illegally enter the U.S.A., and next up, the radical Democrats there are handing extremely expensive “gender affirming” care to illegals for free.
The state has released guidelines that maintain that so-called “gender affirming care” is covered under the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. And with the recent decision to expand Medi-Cal to all illegals, that means any illegal can get coverage for the expensive — and life-long — treatments, the Daily Caller reported.
Medi-Cal has been slowly adding more and more groupings of illegals to its eligibility list for decades. It started back in 2014 when Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown signed a bill into law that allowed children of illegals ages up to 18 to enroll in the program. Then, in 2019, state Democrats allowed young adult illegals, ages 19 to 25, to use the program. In another addition to the list, older illegals, aged 50 and older, were also opened up for the program.
Previous to all these expansions, illegals were only eligible for emergency and pregnancy-related care.
Most recently, in May of 2022, the remainder of illegals, aged 26 to 50, were also added to the freebie list, and the changes put all illegals in the state into Medi-Cal starting on Jan. 1, this year.
Gov. Newsom celebrated the massive, and expensive, expansion of Medi-Cal.
“In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage — regardless of income or immigration status,” Newsom’s office told ABC last year. “Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it.”
