Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't California bankrupt enough already? Whqt stops the entire world from moving there for free healthcare now? Maybe when the whole thing slides into the Pacific, it'll be a blessing.

Do you realize how much money immigrants send out of the country? Money that is not spent here? $120 BILLION last year. That is money they are sending to their home countries that they do not spend here, therefore pay no tax on it. If an immigrant works under the table, paying no tax on that wage and then sends a large portion of it to another country there's a lot of money slipping away. If they work under the table and claim little to no income, they then claim to live in poverty and collect benefits (Medicaid).

If it is unsubsidized what is the is the issue?
I did read that scenario about how some one could buy it then get an operation and then drop it but pretty sure that isn't how it works.
Pretty sure most plans have deductibles...
Oh didn't see the 19 and younger part.
I guess I don't fully agree with that part.
I do agree with people who need medical attention getting it tho.

If someone breaks into your house and expects food and medical treatment paid for by you, and they offer to pay the cable bill in return. . .
I'd still say, "Get the f### out of my house!"

Innocently, most everyone who bought to line we were fed.
Cynically, no one, but they WANTED Obamacare, so they lied to get it anyhow.
ObamaCare Cost Assistance Subsidy Facts
There are three types of cost assistance: Premium Tax Credits to lower your premiums, Cost Sharing Reduction subsidies for lower out-of-pocket costs, and Medicaid and CHIP. Let’s take a quick look at some cost assistance subsidy facts before we get to the details.
• Cost assistance subsidies are only available through your state’s health insurance marketplace and are only available during open enrollment (unless you qualify for a special enrollment period) The exception is Medicaid and CHIP, which can be obtained at any time of year.
• Although subsidies are only offered on marketplace plans, many Health Insurance Brokers outside the marketplace can help you enroll in a marketplace plan.
• Subsidies are based on income. In most states, anyone making less than 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) can get some type of subsidy on Marketplace plans.
• The Federal Poverty Level adjusts for inflation each year allowing more and more Americans to qualify for more cost assistance.
Migrants working in the United States sent a staggering $120 billion back to their families last year, it was revealed today.
The amount of money being sent by migrants across the entire world reached $530 billion last year, making it a larger economy than Iran or Argentina, the data from the World Bank showed.
This worldwide figure has tripled in the last ten years and is now three times bigger than the total aid budgets given by countries around the world. It has sparked debate whether this so-called remittance money could be a viable alternative to relying on help from other governments.
In the United States last year, more than $120 billion was sent by workers to families abroad - making it the largest sender of remittances in the world. More than $23 billion went to Mexico, $13.45 billion to China, $10.84 billion to India and $10 billion to the Philippines, among other recipients.
Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare
APRIL 05, 2011
Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies.Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisanWashington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising.Basically, the majority of households across the country benefitting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania(59%).The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship. On the other hand, legal immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program, according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and resulting low income.The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the Dominican Republic (82 %), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%), according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents.

Illegal immigrants arriving from as far away as China pay up to $30,000 to be smuggled into the U.S. through Mexico, a Border Patrol agent has revealed, highlighting the fact that people from all over the world, not just Central America, are penetrating the southern border due to lackadaisical enforcement of immigration laws.
