California paid for all the hospital bills for childbirth, all the subsequent doctors bills for the kids. I have no idea how he paid his rent; probably by making sushi. Only reason I knew about the kids thing was by asking. He was kind of surprised that wasn't available for everyone, like, you know, citizens and people like above who was worried making a baby would bankrupt him and his fiancee. I assume it was ordinary Calmed and his job was off the books; didn't pry into details.

>you know, citizens It has nothing to do with immigration status. Medicaid is available in California for people making below a certain income.

  I kind of said that. Meanwhile, legally employed OP above fears bankruptcy for putting a baby in his fiancee. Good job America.

    >He was kind of surprised that wasn't available for everyone, like, you know, citizens... It is available for citizens. Citizens who make below a certain amount. If the OP's fiancee lost her job and didn't have medical coverage, she would qualify for the same insurance your sushi chef did.

    Although I think it should be available to everyone regardless of income. The sushi chef should have access to the same level of care that I do regardless of their income. The solution to this specific problem can't be to eliminate health care for the sushi chef.

And as learc pointed out, it's available to anyone below a certain income. In other words, the California taxpayer is subsidizing that sushi restaurant and paid for part of your meal.
