Newsome Signs $2.8 Billion More To Cover Medicaid Gap Due To Illegals

The People’s Republik Of California apparently has nothing better to do with the taxpayer money than give insurance to illegal aliens

NEW: Gavin Newsom is asking for a $2.8 billion BAILOUT for CA’s Medicaid program after he opened it up to illegals. This is on top of a $3.4 billion loan issued last week.

This marks nearly $6.2 billion in just a few weeks. Why should taxpayers fund Medicaid for illegals? pic.twitter.com/qOW0fXwx6t

California OKs $2.8B to close Medicaid funding gap after expanding immigrant coverage

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Monday to close a $2.8 billion budget gap in the state’s Medicaid services and ensure coverage through June for 15 million people, including immigrants, who receive health care via the program.

Whoa, whoa, wait, June 15th? $2.8 billion? For two months? Really? Can you imagine how much help for homeless Americans that could provide?

The legislation is part of the state’s solution to solve the $6.2 billion hole in the state’s Medicaid budget. It comes a year after California launched an ambitious coverage expansion to provide free health care to all low-income adults regardless of their immigration status. The expansion is costing far more than the state projected and could force the Democratic governor and Democratic lawmakers to reevaluate future coverage for millions of people. (snip)

The state hasn’t said how many people have enrolled through the expansion. Last year, the state projected that about 700,000 state residents who are living in the U.S. illegally would gain full health coverage to access preventive care and other treatment.

Um, wouldn’t this violate federal laws about assisting those unlawfully present in the U.S., particularly 8 U.S.C. § 1324? Besides that the money could significantly help Californians who are US citizens? And this is all on Democrats. They run the PRC government.
