She found out something very interesting. She found out that if she was here illegally. which she was. and notified U.S. Immigration and Customs of that fact. then at that point in time she would be eligible for the service. a free service. She would be eligible for the medical service that she wanted. Why? Because illegal aliens in this country are entitled to benefits under the MediCal system. So when she admitted her illegal status in the country. her benefits were restored. and she is now awaiting her fourth transplant at taxpayer expense. Madam Speaker. what this means is that in California. if youre an illegal alien. youre entitled to taxpayerfunded health care for complex procedures like organ transplants. If youre an American. you may be out of luck. How much money are we talking about?
