Medi-Cal and undocumented immigrants

http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-immigrants-medi-cal-20160427-story.html

This article discusses the efforts being made to enable undocumented immigrants to get health care in California. Apparently, the state has decided to allow anyone under 19 who is here illegally to be covered under Medi-Cal. That comes out to about 17,000 people.

The article explains that it's easy to get health insurance for kids, since it's cheaper and easier to get people on board with. The issue is whether undocumented adults will get the same coverage, which is described as being "a much harder sell."
