>Medi-cal and the Washington state medicaid programs both allow for non-citizens. However, they do not use federal funds to cover non-citizens, they use state funds. They leverage their higher tax revenues to cover.

That would still mean runtime_terror made a false claim: "It's not like undocumented immigrants even get welfare or other social programs" They didn't specify whether the money for welfare or social programs came at the federal vs state level.

We were talking federal funds, that's what I was referring to. I'm well aware MediCal covers immigrants; and I'd argue they should get coverage as they pay taxes after all!

If you meant federal, you should've said federal.

Do they pay income taxes if they're getting paid under the table in cash? If so, please explain how.
