As a Californian, this is mostly just propaganda. Yes, immigration doesn’t affect Medicaid eligibility, and yes that’s a good thing, but if you aren’t low ENOUGH income for Medicaid, coverage is expensive.
Also as others have noted (and more directly addressing OP) California isn’t anywhere close to a single payer system. We have a marketplace of private insurers like everybody else
There are going to be as many opinions on this as there are women who like having sex with men. Some women like dominant men, some like submissive men, some like doms on even days and subs on odd days. Some only like doms on a full moon.

Individuals have their preferences, and no two individuals’ preferences are going to be the same.

I don’t think they’re arguing that the ads are part of the free speech, I think they’re arguing the ads are a revenue source that allows them to fund free speech. Blocking ads in this case is more akin to sitting down at the newsstand for two hours while you read the paper, then putting the paper back without having paid for anything. Yes online advertising has become a massive breach of privacy, but they have no obligation to give away their product for free, and looking at ads is how you pay for it.
