\"13-April\"<\/a>A recent bill introduced in the state of California is all set to make it the first state to allow unlawful immigrants to receive medical help and participate in its health care exchange program. This will enable the extension of coverage to more than 1 million people in the state.<\/p>\n

The bill is a measure from Democratic Senator Ricardo Lara, and is all set to change the state law to allow illegal immigrants access to Medi-Cal, the state\u2019s Medicaid program. The bill would also empower the state\u2019s Health and Human Services Agency to get access to a waiver from the federal government that would allow unlawful immigrants to enroll in the state\u2019s exchange, Covered California.<\/p>\n

They stated that they understood the obstacles and difficulties being faced by the immigrants \u2013 the rationale behind these bills was admirable, but without enough funds and finances it was extremely difficult for taxpayers of the state of California to finance these bills, they mooted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
