People might say:
"I don't want my taxes funding healthcare for undocumented Californians who don't contribute."
We say:
Undocumented Californians contribute $8.5 billion*** in state taxes every year. Yet they are unjustly excluded from access to many public services-that their taxes made possible.

More hardship.
More mortality.
More emergency service calls.
More bureaucratic expense.
More strain on families and workers.
Less flexibility.
Less freedom.
Less money.
Less time.
Less life.
Less of everything that makes California great.
This isn't who we are.
However bad California's budget deficit may be, stripping healthcare from our disabled citizens, elders, and immigrant community is NOT the answer.
