Immigrants living in the country illegally would be allowed to buy health coverage on California’s insurance exchange under a bill that passed the state Assembly on Tuesday.

Undocumented immigrants using the exchange would not be eligible for the public subsidies that extend to other lower-income shoppers.


Which will be changed in a year's time through a lawsuit by some social justice group saying that it is discriminatory.

“buy healthcare”
Translation: get free obamacare.
This was the intention from the start, to give “free” healthcare to non-Americans, paid for by Americans.

Aw Steve, don’t feeeeel down.

If the criminal invaders can’t afford health care the State of California will pay the premiums for them...

It says they aren’t getting subsidies. I think they should be gone, but while they are here they should be able to buy products (food, gas, even health care) with their own money. And no company should be required to provide different products for illegals (though my local wal-mart has the same product in boxes with different languages)

The 2 issues I’d like to see covered are
* Does the administration cost go up for insurers (more bilingual workers needed)?
* How is this group’s health compared to other members of the insurance pool?

My guess is that in both cases insurance costs for everyone will go up. And, even if illegals aren’t getting subsidies the total cost of subsidies will go up to cover increased premiums for the rest of the pool. So, we are all paying more for them to have health care (unless they are much healthier than average and bring costs down).

Meaning they have jobs that pay enough for them to pay for it? Later some advocacy group will demand that they receive free health insurance.

Illegal aliens have been getting free healthcare and welfare since I moved to California in the late 60s. I became aware of this while I was in high school. Illegals would come over, have a kid, and the anchor baby locked them in to the system.

Not one politician has done anything to stop it and basically illegals and their stooges now run the state. Illegals vote, too. I used to register people. I know that little is done to keep illegals off the voter roles.

WHY would these *CRIMINALS* care to PAY for h-care when they can go to any ER and fleece the hospital/taxpayer instead?

I can just see it—thousands of illegals are wallowing in poverty, families in makeshift residences or dozens of them huddled into a one-bedroom apartment...all of them waiting, waiting for the day where they can fire up their laptop and purchase shoddy health insurance from a government website.

Americans cannot afford this free healthcare. Last I looked it would cost me over $10,000 a year and I would still have a very high deductible.
Meanwhile an illegal gets a free everything including your job.
