It will have devastating consequences for Los Angeles. and it will have devastating consequences for the State of California.

Trying to achieve a big chunk of those socalled savings through the back door of the welfare bill by taking away any access to Medicaid for legal immigrants is wrong. It will hurt urban hospitals. It will hurt innocent people.
