The growing lunacy of free health insurance for migrants (msn.com)
Across the globe, millions of people are on the move, defying borders and violating laws to escape poor countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and break into rich countries.
The United States is their No. 1 destination.
America needs a strategy to control the impact of this lawless migration on our quality of life.
Instead, the Democratic Party merely virtue signals, saying, “Welcome, take whatever we have.”
As of Jan. 1, California is offering Medi-Cal to 760,000 undocumented migrants of all ages.
California’s health-care system is already strained, with long emergency-room wait times and a dire nurse shortage.
A dearth of beds and mental-health facilities prevents municipalities from moving the thousands of drug-addicted homeless off the streets and into treatment.
The state faces a staggering $68 billion deficit.
Yet the left opts to spend money on migrants instead of on California’s own, showing utter disregard for the health care of local residents.
Don’t think this lunacy is limited to one state.
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, Illinois, Oregon and Washington already cover migrants in specific age categories, and left-wing lawmakers are pushing to expand the coverage to all ages.
