CA Democrats try again to provide health care to needy undocumented seniors
CalMatters ^ | September 9, 2019 | Elizabeth Aguilera

Democratic legislators are advancing a bill that aims to provide free health care to low-income undocumented seniors — an idea that they floated earlier this year, but which failed to make it into the state budget because of concerns over its cost.

I wish with all my heart there would be a peaceful solution for all this crap going on, but as hard as I may try I just don’t see any. Speaking from experience in most cases the only thing what will make people change their ways is, when it affects their pocket books or endangers heir life’s. And we may not be too far away from this point in time.

Well, I see your problem right there: Believing you *paid* into any system.

MediXYZ, like SS, is THE classic example of a Ponzi scheme.

Now, if govt FOLLOWED the Constitution, we wouldn’t need to worry about ‘payments’ to MediXYZ, let alone illegal aliens.

Next easiest: terminate the illegal welfare state in all its shapes/matters/forms+

I doubt it is Medicare, rather they are talking about MediCAL, which every other state calls Medicaid.

When my ancient mother, who lived in San Diego, was experiencing her last illness, I went to a lot of agencies to try and get her a little help. She was on Social Security, and to be fair, because of her age 99 and the fact she was drawing widow’s benefits from SS, she had received a lot more benefits than she had paid into SS. But the fact is, she had been paying taxes for close onto 80 years of her life.

She was entitled to nothing. Everyone was very sympathetic, but there was nothing they could do for her. Penniless people who worked off the books and paid no taxes were, of course eligible for just about everything, food stamps, meals on wheels, mediCAL, free phone, low-cost internet, etc. etc., and for convenience “se habla espanol”.

Her last illness was mercifully brief and she died a few months before what money she had ran out. But the idea that people who have no right to be here get benefits that citizens who live here are denied kind of ticks me off.

Basic Economics is even more basic than that.

HEALTHCARE ECONOMICS

If you willingly buy Health Care from a Doctor, you control the higher quality.

When Govt steals that Health Care money before you can go to your Doctor, others decide how to spend it.

Govt simply chooses to spend your stolen money on other people like foreign illegals.

Makes perfect sense.

How does the Democrat screw job make you feel?

We do not care.
We do not have too.

No grower, you have to pay co-pays... Illegals will get those paid for free.
