[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly Medicaid for illegal immigrants like in CA should never have happened. They also cover in home support services regardless of immigration status. This is a huge money pit and attracts even more illegal immigrants to the state. Might be good for companies but bad for regular taxpayers. [/quote]

But that is paid for with state dollars only, not federal money. If there is a debate to be had over it, it should be a debate within California over how state tax money is used. It doesn’t have anything to do with the federal government.[/quote]

Medicaid is not fully state funded! It's at least 50% federally funded by law. https://www.kff.org/medicaid/state-indicator/federal-matching-rate-and-multiplier/[/quote]

The previous comment was a response to the poster who objected to California covering undocumented immigrants in its Medicaid program. By law federal money cannot be used for that, so it is state-only dollars that are used to cover that population in California.
