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.

      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.
