5. Are they citizens, though, as I think I asked?

If they were indigent here even if not citizens, why didn't New Jersey have the Medicaid extension that would have paid for it through the ACA?

My state did so, and we have emigrants who just arrived and are getting a combo Medicare, Medicaid and Medicare Plus. For free. It covers everything, these people would have been covered here.

Of course it's not just emigrants, but all people within a certain range get it too. It is, for all purposes universal health care now. It's complete, transportation, home help, etc.

This is happening right now and it's why the Libertarians and GOP hate it. But those who are able to get low or no cost insurance are very happy.
