This is not The Babylon Bee, this is real life.
You may have heard that as of January 1 California is offering tax-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants — 700,000 of them — but did you know that the coverage will also include sex change hormones and surgery?
You betcha it does!
And come on, it's California, what did we expect?
They're offering the "affirming care" through their Med-Cal program, which now fully covers illegal immigrants.
From Daily Caller:
The program, which is known as Medi-Cal, covers hormone therapy and surgical procedures "that bring primary and secondary gender characteristics into conformity with the individual's identified gender, including ancillary services, such as hair removal, incident to those services," according to a state memo from May 2022. Roughly 700,000 illegal immigrants in the state between the age of 26 and 49 qualify for full coverage as of Jan. 1, California State Sen. María Elena Durazo said in May of the state's latest move to expand the program.
The memo:
"Gender affirming care is a covered Medi-Cal benefit when medically necessary. Requests for gender affirming care should be from specialists experienced in providing culturally competent care to transgender and gender diverse individuals and should use nationally recognized guidelines," the memo read.
"Medical necessity is assessed and services shall be recommended by treating licensed mental health professionals and physicians and surgeons experienced in treating patients with incongruence between their gender identity and gender assigned at birth," the memo adds.
So my buddy Juan, he's now getting free healthcare in California, and in a few weeks he'll be Juanita — sorry, SHE'LL be Juanita — and it'll all be paid for by the residents of California.
Isn't that just great?
I can't wait to see what kind of prosperity this American-funded, gender-affirming care brings to the illegal immigrant population of California!
And I'm sure the state (which is up to its eyeballs in debt) will be just fine with all these extra expenses, no worries there!
