On Jan. 1, California will become the first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented adults by expanding access to the state-run insurance plan, Medi-Cal.

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.

          It isn’t CIA propaganda. They quite literally welded people into their houses during COVID, there’s video of them doing it. They then absolutely decimated Hong Kong, making countless protestors disappear. There’s obviously the whole situation where they use mass slave labor of the Uyghur Muslims. There’s the constant lies the CCP spews that are demonstrably false (we’re talking North Korea levels of laughable propaganda). There’s their blatant theft of intellectual property with government support along with the global corporate espionage. There’s the horrible working conditions, with companies needing suicide nets around the buildings to prevent workers from jumping. There’s the laughable safety issues with various engineering projects that when they fail are swept under the rug. The list goes on and on. China has an interesting and impressive history, but China under the CCP is absolute dog shit.

            Decimated Hong Kong

            Dude people in Hong Kong used to be living in closets. It was awful. Now that mainland china has had some influence it’s greatly improved

            Uyghur muslims

            Are we still on about this when it’s been long disproven?

            Constant lies

            Funny to hear that coming from a capitalist apologist

            Theft of intellectual property

            Literally citing a legal fiction as if it’s some sort of atrocity that everyone would agree on.

            Suicide nets

            I almost killed myself in America and those thoughts went away when I moved to China. Turns out when your life isn’t shit you don’t want to kill yourself

            Safety issues

            Remember that time a train derailed in Ohio? Oh right, y’all’s “free press” was too focused on the Chinese spy balloon hoax to give any airtime to it

            China under the CCP is dog shit

            Yeah, lemme know what you think when you get opinions from sources that aren’t funded directly by congress’s anti-china propaganda fund that y’all openly create

            No, I just think that you think that anybody who isn’t cishet han in China has it just as bad as anybody who isn’t cishet white in America

                Oh btw, just found this news on Xinjiang’s “forced labor”. It always goes the same:

                1. Baseless accusations against china treated as fact
                2. Hire a few people to claim to be victims
                3. Accusations fail to hold up against scrutiny
                4. The news quietly moves on to another propaganda strategy. An admission that it’s false is “published” but buried by the algorithm so that they can claim journalistic integrity when pressed

                Because the admission that they’re wrong is always buried, people who still believe the lie are plentiful as fuck and finding the confession is a pain in the ass.

                I personally know an Uyghur guy who can’t get a job at any international companies because the international companies are afraid of the forced labor allegations

                  This is like saying “hope you’re not a Jew” if you live in Nazi Germany and you telling me that you’re a blacksmith so you’re fine in Nazi Germany.

                  Believe it or not, being a blacksmith has nothing to do with being a Jew and being queer has nothing to do with being Tibetan.

                    Lmao so stupid. You believe there’s a “genocide” because you saw a news article once. What was it’s source? Another news article. Keep following to try to find the original source and the whole thing loops back on itself like a fucking Mobius strip. Any actual evidence? The birth rate is declining, just like it is everywhere else in the world because birth rate is inversely correlated with prosperity. Also some out of context footage with mistranslated subtitles.
