That’s a strange leap of logic.

I know CA is insane. But someone with 1.5M + a house gets free healthcare, food stamps, etc.?

Unbelievably California just removed asset testing in order to get Medi- Cal (California free version of medicare) and food stamps in 2024. So you can own a million dollar home and have 1.5 m in the bank. You also don't have to be a legal resident either. They count interest/dividends earned but my sibling found a way around that too.
