Governor Gavin Newsom Finally Decides He Wants Cap Health Care for Illegal Immigrants

Governor Gavin Newsom wants to reign-in free healthcare for illegal immigrants.  California is facing a roughly two-billion-dollar deficit for the coming fiscal year.  In an effort to help reduce that, Newsom wants to cap the healthcare the state is giving the undocumented.  People 19-years and older living in California illegally will no longer be allowed to sign up for the state’s Medi-Cal health coverage starting in 2026.  Children and teens will still be eligible.  Newsom also says illegal immigrants already on Medi-Cal will have to start paying a 100-dollar monthly premium beginning in 2027.  Newsom’s office says this will save taxpayers nearly five-and-a-half-billion dollars by 2028.
