| Another Failure: Gavin Newsom's Bankrupted Medi-Cal After Expanding Coverage to Illegal Aliens |
| 2025-03-21 |
| [RedState] California Gov. Gavin Newsom (Democrat, of course) bragged about a huge budget surplus during the COVID lockdowns and made big promises to his core constituencies about how they were going to use that money. For many reasons (pandemic unemployment fraud, gross mismanagement, huge tax base losses) that surplus isn't just gone; the state has such a large shortfall that some agencies were ordered to stop ordering office supplies. Last year, despite loud warnings about the cost from (most) California Republicans and anyone else with a brain, Newsom and his band of virtue-signaling Democrats made Medi-Cal available to illegal aliens in the state - and now Medi-Cal is bankrupt and Newsom's asking the legislature for $6.2 billion just to keep it solvent through the end of the fiscal year. Surprisingly, he admits that paying for healthcare coverage for illegal aliens is "partially" contributing to Medi-Cal's funding shortfall. Where will that money Newsom's requesting come from? The state's general fund will probably be raided, and monies earmarked for other things (most likely from the $10 billion "climate change" bond voters approved last year, so not from anything important) will be diverted to pay for this boondoggle. Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones (R-San Diego) wants to know why estimates were so far off (and so do the rest of us): Just days after the Newsom Administration announced a $3.4 billion loan to cover Medi-Cal for illegal immigrants, they are now scrambling to secure an additional $2.8 billion just to keep the program solvent through June.

| #3 For those in CA, best to buy a ICE hat and jacket, just in case you need to go the emergency room, to cut down the line. |

| #2 Remember in 2013, California designated itself a “sanctuary state” and then re-enforced it in 2017 with the media dubbed California Values Act. It now has an Illegal population of well over 2.6++ million residing there. Making it the #1 state in the USA for illegal immigrants. The CAL. State is so screwed up and hard to survive in now. That Illegals are actually leaving CAL. for Red states. Where illegal manual labor, employment is possible and better living conditions can be found and paid for by the Illegals themselves. |
