Here are five points:
1. Ms. Clinton stated she supported states making efforts to extend healthcare to undocumented children and others. She said, “I want to open up the opportunity for immigrants to be able to buy into the exchanges under the Affordable Care Act.
2. Various political experts claim Clinton’s statements in the debate are part of a broader effort to gain more support from her liberal supporters, with some experts claiming she might be trying to get support outside of her African American and white base.
3. Recently, California legislators promised to continue expanding coverage until all residents in the state have insurance. Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) introduced a bill allowing unauthorized immigrants to buy a medical plan through the state’s Affordable Care Act exchange.
4. Various proposals in California to extend healthcare to illegal immigrants have been valued at more than $1 billion. Critics of these proposals oppose the cuts that would be made if such proposals were implemented.
5. Because Hillary’s position is unpopular in many parts of the United States, experts claim she will have to adjust her position during the general election.
