"California Extends Medi-Cal to All Undocumented Immigrants Amid Fiscal Challenges"

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for a "tax revolt" in California in response to the state's decision to extend free health care to undocumented immigrants aged 26 to 49 under Medi-Cal. This expansion, which is set to begin in the new year, is part of a broader debate between Republicans seeking tighter border security and Democrats aiming to provide refuge for immigrants. Greene has labeled the move as "treason" and suggests that a tax revolt could be a solution to what she perceives as a border crisis and government overreach. California Governor Gavin Newsom's office has defended the expansion, stating that quality health care should be accessible to all, regardless of immigration status.
