    American Rescue plan gave some generous grants to students in California, also it appears that it also heavily subsized healthcare for the indigent here through Covered California

        super poor people (basically the homeless) get Medi Cal which is pretty much "free" though apparently (from what I've been told) they will go looking for your next of kin if you die to presumably make them pay lmfao

        also Covered CA gets pretty cheap depending on how much you make but yeah you still have to pay and from what I've heard it's not great but it's probably better than what the rest of the USA has

        California actually does have a lot of help for people relative to the rest of the country, community college is basically free if you are poor

          It's true, Medi-Cal is surprisingly decent for what it is and (edit: state) college tuition is basically free for residents... However these "benefits" are only made available if you're in actual poverty (which is plenty of people due to the cost of living)

        I'm on PA Medicaid right now, it's called Medical Assistance. Honestly amazing imo would recommend 11/10 besides having to make less than 14k a year to get it.
