Can you get free healthcare???

(The Center Square) - The California Assembly voted to maintain taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants, which the state said earlier had cost $9.5 billion this year.

The proposed budget amendment would have terminated Medi-Cal funding for illegal immigrants and further state funding for the state’s $35 billion high-speed rail project set to connect the Central Valley cities of Merced and Bakersfield by 2033.

No sir. I'm retired, but not yet age 65. My premiums are only $150 a month, but there's an $8500.00 deductible, & no coverage for dental or vision even if the deductible has been met.

What saves me is a special HSA that's available to those with a high deductible HC plan. You can't use it to pay your monthly premiums, but you can invest it however you choose, use it for any healthcare related expenses, & can also use it for dental/vision bills. Once you reach Medicare age, if you still have funds left, you can use it for Medicare part B premiums, or whatever the hell they call it. 

It's triple tax free. Can contribute up to $5300 per year, it comes straight off the top for taxes, & it's also tax free when you use it, as long as it's for healthcare related expenses.

God bless whoever came up with it.

And MediCal goes bankrupt. 

[jbycho 754]

California's state and local governments have a substantial debt burden, with total liabilities exceeding $500 billion. This includes both state and local debt, as well as unfunded liabilities for pension and healthcare benefits for public workers. The state's debt is a significant concern, and the Legislative Analyst's Office estimates that the state faces multiyear deficits averaging around $30 billion per year.

Apparently this is what California voters voted for. I'm sorry that you're stuck in the middle of all this, but you're just outnumbered. The idiots and retards way outnumber the normal folk in California. 

It really is a beautiful state it's too bad it's gone to s*** under the rule of Democrats.
