About 700,000 adults between ages 26 and 49 will be eligible as of Jan. 1

California will welcome the new year by becoming the first state to offer health insurance for all undocumented immigrants.

Starting Jan. 1, all undocumented immigrants, regardless of age, will qualify for Medi-Cal, California’s version of the federal Medicaid program for people with low incomes.

Previously, undocumented immigrants were not qualified to receive comprehensive health insurance but were allowed to receive emergency and pregnancy-related services under Medi-Cal as long as they met eligibility requirements, including income limits and California residency in 2014.

    What are building height limits if not a device to artificially reduce housing supply?

    And yes it is the same everywhere in the US, that’s why I left the US

        Lmao zoning in California has only gotten worse over the past 10 years. 90% of houses in the SF bay area are on lots so small it’d be illegal to build them these days.

        Yeah, it wasn’t enough to have building height limits, now they have lot size minimums for single family homes. Because god forbid someone live in an apartment in a walkable neighborhood
