California Gov. Gavin Newsom seeks to add more illegal immigrants to state health care plan
By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, January 8, 2019
Newly sworn-in California Gov. Gavin Newsom, vowing to provide “sanctuary to all who seek it,†has proposed extending state health care coverage to more illegal immigrants living within the Golden State’s borders.
Hours after assuming office, Mr. Newsom released sweeping health care proposals to raise the age limit for illegal aliens covered by Medi-Cal from 19 to 26, which would make California “the first state in the nation to cover young undocumented adults through a state Medicaid program,†according to a Monday release from the governor’s office.
Mr. Newsom, who ran on a universal health care platform, also proposed expanding Obamacare subsidies to middle-class earners and reinstating the Obamacare individual mandate at the state level.
