Newsom Reverses Course on Taxpayer Funded Health Care for Illegal Immigrants, Calls to Pause Enrollment

California Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he wants the state to stop enrolling more low-income illegal immigrants in a state-funded health care program, beginning next year.
 
Under Newsom’s plan, the state would not end coverage for illegal immigrants who are already enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. However, the state would begin charging adults with “unsatisfactory immigrant status” a monthly premium of $100 beginning in 2027.

Newsom’s announcement comes after the governor previously said in March he was not considering rolling back health benefits for low-income illegal immigrants, even as the state contended with a $6.2 billion Medicaid shortfall.

Just last year, the state became among the first to offer free health care benefits to all low-income adults, regardless of immigration status.

Now, Newsom is backtracking as the expansion cost the state $2.7 billion more than his administration had predicted.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It seems the MSM is trying to give Newsom a flamboyant, athletic look, ala JFK.  However, in the picture in this article he looks amazingly like Biden. :whistle:

... for now.  It's duplicitous political posturing to fool the unwashed masses of deplorable rubes.
