California becomes 1st state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants
- Over 700,000 undocumented immigrants in California will have access to free healthcare through the state's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, marking a significant coverage expansion and a step closer to universal healthcare in the state.
- The expansion is estimated to cost California about $3.1 billion annually despite the state currently facing a $68 billion budget deficit. Republicans are concerned about an already overstretched healthcare system and the high cost of the expansion.
- Advocates for the expansion argue that it will close the healthcare gap, save the state money in the long run, and provide preventative care to a population that often delays seeking medical treatment. However, some challenges include eligibility issues and fear among immigrants of negatively impacting their immigration status.
