You could say the same thing for people qualifying for in-state tuition to University of California colleges (which is significantly cheaper than out-of-state tuition). Just moving to CA and making yourself a CA resident isn't enough, I think the rule there is you need have physically lived in a residence in CA for 1 year and intend to stay living in CA. No reason why they couldn't make a similar restriction for health care.
