On Jan. 1, California will become the first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented adults by expanding access to the state-run insurance plan, Medi-Cal.

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.

    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!

            Once again, you sure do seem agitated that I said I hoped you weren’t a Uighur or a Tibetan.

              Ok, let me fucking spell this out for you.

              I talk about how much better life is in China than in the US

              You mention those two races

              I mention they don’t apply to me and go back to talking about my personal experience in China, and how it is evidence that China isn’t as bad as the west thinks

              You fucking hyperfocus on minutea rather than what it’s actually fucking like to live here.

              Of course I’m agitated.
