HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EXTENDS TO COVER UNDOCUMENTED KIDS

Starting next month, almost 200,000 kids of undocumented workers will now have approach to health care.

Changes to California's health care system will now expand coverage to undocumented kids, ages 18 and younger, who don’t have medical insurance.

The changes go into effect on May 16, and it is a relief to some parents.

"Thank God that we have it," claims Jose Hernandez, who was capable to enroll his kids into the program because they were born in the U.S.

Hernandez claims the program saved his son's life when he had his appendix removed.

"Painful," the boy claims. "But I am happy I had the coverage."

Yet others say they can’t say the same. Their kids are not covered by California's health system, and the Affordable Care Act also excludes them from getting coverage.
