Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a tough political decision: renege on his promise to achieve universal health care.
Newsom backed major Medicaid initiatives he backed, including the nation’s largest expansion of taxpayer-financed health care for immigrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.
With nearly 15 million people enrolled in Medi-Cal , California has more to lose on health care than any other state.
The exorbitant cost has come as somewhat of a surprise.
Newsom expanded Medi-Cal in three phases, starting with immigrants ages 19 to 25 , who became eligible in 2020 .
But the costs have grown tremendously while the budget picture has soured, according to KFF Health News .
