Illegals to receive Medicaid in the sewer known as California

[DigitalDrifter]

And of course fucking traitor liberals will have no problem with this.

And by the way you politically correct pricks at the LA Times, it's "illegal" immigrants, NOT "immigrants".

Report: 125,000 immigrants given deferred action eligible for Medi-Cal

A new report shows that as many as 125,000 young California immigrants may qualify for an expansion of Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program.


The Affordable Care Act bars insurance subsidies and enrollment in the Medicaid expansion for undocumented immigrants, but a wrinkle in California rules does offer coverage for those with "deferred action status."

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was created by President Obama in 2012 to grant immigrants who came to the country illegally as children -- sometimes called Dreamers -- legal status and work authorization for two-year periods.

Laurel Lucia, a policy analyst at the UC Berkeley Labor Center and author of the report released Tuesday, said California is one of the few states that lets youth with deferred action status enroll in Medicaid.

“But the word still hasn’t been spread,” she said.

The report found that 154,000 people in California had been granted the status as of December 2013. About 81%, or 125,000, are eligible for Medi-Cal based on their annual income, which has to be less than $15,850 for an individual.

To be eligible for deferred action, immigrants had to arrive in the U.S. before they were 16, be under 31 as of June 2012 and to have continuously lived in the U.S. since 2007.

There’s no data about how many have signed up for Medi-Cal, but the fear of deportation for themselves or family members has probably kept many from enrolling, Lucia said. Federal authorities have said they will not use information provided to determine healthcare eligibility to pursue immigrants in the country illegally.

Diane Vanette, a volunteer with OneLA who screens people at Obamacare enrollment events, recently informed a couple with deferred-action status that they were both eligible for Medi-Cal.

“He was shocked, she was shocked,” Vanette said.

This issue illustrates the complexities in expanding coverage to the state’s large uninsured Latino population. About 82% of DACA-eligible Californians are Latino, according to the report.

The Covered California exchange has been criticized for failing to connect with the state’s Latino population, and for not getting Latinos to sign up in greater numbers. Covered California said last week it would spend $8.2 million through March on Spanish-language advertising, up 73% from spending in fourth quarter.

Mayra Yoana Jaimes Pena, 25, was granted DACA-status last year, and signed up for Medi-Cal this month. Though her three siblings are citizens, her parents lack legal status.

She said she was wary of putting her name in the system and skeptical that she could actually qualify for a government program.

“There was this real hesitancy of what if this becomes a negative experience,” she said.

Tanya Broder, a senior attorney with the National Immigration Law Center, said that as the gaps in coverage become more clear as Obamacare shakes out, more states could adopt policies like California's in the future.

"All states are going to have to look at the people who remain uninsured or uncovered after the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented," she said. "Providing only emergency care is not the best way."

Experts predict that between 3 million and 4 million people will remain uninsured in California in 2019.

State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) introduced legislation this month that would extend state-funded Medi-Cal coverage to low-income immigrants who are in California without legal status. They are now eligible only for emergency and pregnancy coverage.

If you're a legal American then count yourself amongst the luckiest people on Earth.

125,000 young people might get medicaid? From the 12th largest economy in the world? I hope they make the best of it.

I do have a problem when we are offering Medicaid to illegals given that there are millions of Americans who have no coverage.

The point is, if they are not citizens yet, they have no right to take what rightfully belongs to tax-paying CITIZENS.

Oh wait, that's right, it's the Obama administration, they change the rules as they see fit.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Uh, its just a little late for this pretend indignation from the right.

They've been getting free health care for a couple of generations now. You can thank your hero for that.

Reagan indeed not only opened the floodgate by giving amnesty to millions of illegals, he also created the laws that force hospital emergency rooms to serve illegals. I think he mostly meant the hospital treatment to be for American citizens, but nonetheless, he is the one that started all this bullshit.

This latest Medicaid loophole is totally on the back of Obama, and of course floated by all liberals with their bleeding-heart stupidness.

True.

This is yet another example of the ignorant, hateful myth contrived by the right that undocumented immigrants will ‘self-deport’ if only they can be made ‘miserable in America.’

It’s difficult to not come to the conclusion that most on the right have no idea what this great Nation stands for.

Nope.

But, "on the back of Obama" is that ObamaCare does not allow them to buy cheaper health care insurance through the exchanges.

YOU fools voted for free health care for illegals and yes, of course, Ronnie Ray-Gun knew. Its just idiotic to say what he "mostly" meant.

Duddly

You won't find too many conservatives that approved of Reagans #1 fuck-up. Of course it pleased asshole bleeding heart liberals who believe legal Americans should foot the bill for anyone who sneaks into the country.

 

[Katzndogz]

Reagan had to. Democrats forced his hand. Unfortunately he also fell for the Democrat lie of enforcement.

 

[Kondor3]

So the People's Democratic Soviet Socialist Republic of Kalipornia is gonna give free medical care to 100K+ Illegal Aliens?

Big surprise.

I wonder if it's possible to force Kalipornia to pick up the entire tab for those 100K+, rather than taking some portion of the funding from the Federal Golden Goose, so that the rest of us aren't picking up the tab for Kalipornia's bad decisions?

Huh, you're saying conservatives think Reagan's #1 fuck-up was EMTALA?

Except for one person that said s/he hated Reagan for tripling the national debt on his watch, most conservatives that hate Reagan say, what they hate most about Reagan is; he raised taxes 11 times...

11 times, and still-----and still managed to triple the debt.

California is more responsible for encouraging illegal immigration than any other state by far. It's unfortunate the taxpayers of the state put up with it.

It's unfortunate we all put up with it.
