WATCH LIVE: Gov. Newsom to discuss proposal to expand health care to uninsured Californians, regardless of immigration status
California would be the first state to provide health coverage to all people, regardless of immigration status, under the budget Gov. Newsom proposed.
The state began covering immigrants 26 and under in 2019, and those 55 and older last year. Now Newsom wants state lawmakers to cover the remainder, starting no sooner than Jan. 1, 2024. It wasn't immediately clear if he would phase in the additional health coverage or how he planned to pay for it. One legislative analysis put the price tag for covering the remaining donut hole of uninsured immigrants at $2.4 billion per year. Covering those age 50 and up, the most recent expansion, will eventually cost taxpayers about $1.3 billion per year.
Some progressive legislative Democrats last week proposed creating in California the nation's first universal health care system, backed by steep tax hikes that would have to be approved by voters.
