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.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

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.
