California has recently enacted a law that extends free gender transition procedures and hormone therapies to illegal immigrants under the Medi-Cal program, previously designed to aid low-income families and individuals under 50. This move follows the state’s decision in 2017 to provide inmates with free taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries. Critics argue that this is not healthcare but rather a misuse of taxpayer’s money, driven by ideology rather than genuine healthcare needs.
