On Jan. 1, California will become the first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented adults by expanding access to the state-run insurance plan, Medi-Cal.

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.

      Safety issues

      Remember that time a train derailed in Ohio? Oh right, y’all’s “free press” was too focused on the Chinese spy balloon hoax to give any airtime to it

      China under the CCP is dog shit

      Yeah, lemme know what you think when you get opinions from sources that aren’t funded directly by congress’s anti-china propaganda fund that y’all openly create
