California has initiated a $2.6 billion plan to extend free healthcare to illegal immigrants, amidst concerns over the state's current $68 billion budget deficit. Critics, including citizens and political figures like MTG, have slammed Governor Gavin Newsom for this move, highlighting the high cost of health insurance for legal residents and the potential worsening of the budget deficit. Some individuals have sarcastically expressed their intent to identify as 'undocumented immigrants' to access free healthcare, underscoring the discontent with the policy's implications for taxpayers.
