The California Senate voted Tuesday to allow undocumented workers living in the state to obtain medical insurance through its Obamacare health exchange.

Senate Bill 4 also would allow those in the country illegally who are 18 years of age or younger and reside in California to enroll in Medi-Cal, the state’s insurance program for the poor, the Sacramento Bee reported. In order to obtain coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the state would need to file a federal waver, and those immigrants who applied would not be eligible for federal subsidies.

“Ensuring that every child in California grows up healthy and with an opportunity to thrive and succeed is simply the right thing to do.” Democratic Senator Ricardo Lara, who authored the bill, told the Bee.
