'California, which failed to prevent the spread of wildfires in Los
Angeles last month and is struggling to repair the damage, is set to
spend nearly $10 billion on health care for illegal aliens, according to
a nonpartisan state analyst.

Fox News reported Thursday:

Guadalupe Manriquez, the California Department of Finance program budget
manager, told the state Assembly Budget Committee Monday the state is
“spending $9.5 billion total funds” to “cover undocumented individuals
in Medi-Cal” in the current year.

Manriquez explained that this is a “revised number based on the
governor’s budget-updated estimates,” adding the earlier figure was from
the earlier “budget act.”

“The state is shelling out $9.5 billion on healthcare for illegal
immigrants while emergency rooms overflow, hospitals teeter on the brink
and working Californians struggle to see a doctor,” [California Assembly
Minority Leader James Gallagher] continued. “Rather than making
responsible choices, leaders are raiding the rainy-day fund to keep the
spending spree going. This isn’t just a budget crisis — it’s a complete
failure of leadership.”

The City of Los Angeles cut the fire department’s budget last year, and
failed to pre-deploy firefighters ahead of the Palisades Fire due to a
reluctance to pay overtime. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) also trimmed planned
increases in spending on wildfire prevention.

Newsom recently traveled to Washington to seek federal aid for
addressing the impact of the recent fires. He also signed $50 million in
new spending to fight President Donald Trump’s policies'

Yet another reason to leave California. I'm sure the people of LA who lost
everything are overjoyed to hear this news.
Democrats love to put America last.
And they do.

The real problem in California is not so much illegals getting health care but marijuana overdoses flooding ERs.

"Scromiting" visits increased over 128% in California causing delays for those with legitimate health care issues.

The Sacramento legislature and everyone in it needs to be completely burned down and bulldozed into a landfill.

The problem with leaving California is everyone hates them and tries to
take advantage of them. Anyone leaving California has to "launder"
themselves through some place like New Mexico before picking the final stop.

Bass just fired the lesbian fire chief. Voters need to fire Bass.
Newsom is termed out.
