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.

    What on Earth does being a marginalized minority have to do with being a different marginalized minority?

      This is like saying “hope you’re not a Jew” if you live in Nazi Germany and you telling me that you’re a blacksmith so you’re fine in Nazi Germany.

      Believe it or not, being a blacksmith has nothing to do with being a Jew and being queer has nothing to do with being Tibetan.

        Lmao so stupid. You believe there’s a “genocide” because you saw a news article once. What was it’s source? Another news article. Keep following to try to find the original source and the whole thing loops back on itself like a fucking Mobius strip. Any actual evidence? The birth rate is declining, just like it is everywhere else in the world because birth rate is inversely correlated with prosperity. Also some out of context footage with mistranslated subtitles.

          Please quote me using the word genocide or explain why you want me to give a source for something I didn’t say.

          Or is this another irrelevancy to avoid addressing what I actually said like the whole queer thing?

              So I never actually did. Got it. Are you ever going to address anything I do say to you?

                  Not a single reply you have made to me has made a lick of sense. Including that one.

                  But you sure do seem agitated that I said I hoped you weren’t a Uighur or a Tibetan considering how far you’ve gone to avoid even mentioning either of those two words as if they had never been written.

                    literally cites evidence pertaining directly to the experience of Uighurs

                    But you never said the word Uighur!
