Republican California leaders tore apart unsustainable, bankrupt “Medi-Cal system
Republican minority leaders in California are responding to the potential next step in the highly scrutinized Medi-Cal program, which is insolvent because some believe that people can participate “regardless of their immigration status” is a major reason.
As budget negotiations continue in Sacramento, the state faces a $12 billion budget shortage.
The Medi-Cal program, after budgeting more than billions of dollars, was unpaid earlier this year, resulting in $3.44 billion in loan requests to save the program, which covers low-income Golden State residents. Republicans say this is largely due to being allowed to illegally immigrate to the program, and Newsom also says it is part of the spending problem, but not the whole situation.

“We are at a $12 billion deficit with $11.4 billion to provide free health care with illegal immigrants, so if we just don’t do that, that will eliminate our budget deficit,” said Brain Jones, a California Senate minority leader. “It will continue to be a huge debate because we are at a $12 billion deficit with $11.4 billion to provide free health care with illegal immigrants, so if we just don’t do that, that will eliminate our budget deficit.” “Now, there are many other ways to find $12 billion to eliminate the deficit.”
Newsom’s May Budget Revision recommends “full coverage” for adults aged 19 and older, and starts charging a $100 premium per month for individuals with certain identities. ”
“To be very clear, these recommendations are the result of a $16 billion Trump downturn and higher-than-expected health care use. Due to these external factors, the state must take difficult but necessary steps to ensure fiscal stability and retain the long-term viability of all Californians for all Californians, “The News Agency’s Bureau’s behalf of the Internet News Bureau, Fox News’ Declaration”
She added: “Governor Newsom refuses to turn down hard-working Californians, especially with regard to their essential health care needs.”
The KCRA said the proposal from the News Agency government has attracted some criticism from the legislature as the Democratic California Legislative Latino Caucus proposed tax hikes to cover the program’s coverage for illegal immigrants. The question remains whether the $100 premium is enough to get people out of the plan.

However, Jones said Midi-Carl, provided to illegal immigrants, may not have been proposed by Democrats.
“This is just a message point for governors and democratic leaders. It’s not a practical matter. It means governors and Democratic leaders are expected to receive coverage for illegal immigration, they are on labor, but there are few opportunities,” he said.
“Many doctors in California have been offering Medicare and Medicaid have closed stores and moved to other states. Many other doctors who are still here have stopped taking such patients, even if they are legal or illegal, their reimbursement rates are so low because when doctors take away health care Orol Medicaid patients, it is actually a loss.”

Meanwhile, Parliamentary Minority Leader James Gallagher told Fox News in an interview that the budget shortage is “completely predictable.”
You know, two years ago, Gavin Newsom and Super Husband Democrats decided to fund illegal immigrant health care through our Medi-Cal program. Everyone said it would be billions of dollars. This is unsustainable. At that time, Biden was the president and Biden was the president, and people crossed the crowd and millions of people didn’t know it. We once had someone I didn’t know. The bankrupt Medi-Cal system requires $3.4 billion in loans to support it. ”
At the federal level, the recent pending settlement bill passed by the House of Representatives could also cause problems for the state’s Medi-Cal products, as it would change the federal “match” from 90% to 80% rather than an emergency, Newsom Administmenttion said that could cost the state billions of dollars.
“If Republicans push this extreme magazine proposal forward, millions of coverage will lose insurance, hospitals will be closed, and safety nets may collapse under weight,” Newsom said last week.
