Free health insurance for migrants in california
California has decided to provide free medical care to undocumented migrants. This decision is considered one of the most radical steps to ensure that all citizens – even those without legal status – have access to health care services.
The initiative is designed to help ensure that undocumented people in California will not fear financial consequences if they need to see a doctor. It’s a first step toward closing the gap between health care services and the state’s uninsured residents.
However, the decision goes far beyond the medical benefits. It’s also about the “moral imperative.” To fulfill for a more just society in the state of California. The government believes that every resident of the state has the right to have access to quality health care – regardless of their status.
What happened?
California has decided to give free health insurance to migrants. This decision was made due to the increasing number of illegal immigrants who often do not have access to health care. The cost of the insurance is paid for out of the state budget and amounts to about $98 million annually.
