SHOCKING CALIFORNIA DEFICIT! GOVERNOR FREEZES IMMIGRANT HEALTH CARE!
$12 BILLION HOLE! Is Governor Newsom’s Budget Plan a Total DISASTER?
California is in a financial frenzy, staring down a jaw-dropping $12 billion deficit, and Governor Gavin Newsom is making a bold move that has heads spinning! His audacious solution? A shocking freeze on enrollment in a state-funded health care program for immigrants without legal status!
In a dramatic announcement, Newsom unveiled his nearly $322 billion spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year, citing soaring Medicaid costs and an unstable economy as key culprits. Blame game alert! The Governor pointed fingers at unpredictable federal tariffs and a wild stock market, begging the question: Is Trump sabotaging California’s financial future?
"CALIFORNIA UNDER ASSAULT!" Newsom Goes on the Offensive!
“We have a president that’s been reckless!” Newsom exclaimed, fueling the flames of a political showdown as he tears into the Trump administration for potentially costing California $16 billion in future revenues.
With budget negotiations heating up, lawmakers better brace themselves! A final budget must be signed by the end of June, and things are getting tense!
Republican Leader James Gallagher fired back, labeling Newsom’s finger-pointing as “the biggest load of crap” he’s ever seen. He claims, “We’re in this mess because of his reckless spending and failed leadership!” Ouch!
FREEZING IMMIGRANT HEALTH CARE! Newsom’s Bold (and Controversial) Move!
The freeze is set to slam shut doors for low-income adults without legal status starting in 2026! While current enrollees will remain safe—at least for now—Newsom’s move is stirring a hornet’s nest of political controversy!
But wait, there’s more! Starting in 2027, adults on Medi-Cal with “unsatisfactory immigration status” will face a $100 monthly premium! Say what? Newsom claims it aligns with costs on subsidized health plans, but many are left scratching their heads. “WE believe people should have skin in the game!” he insists.
CALIFORNIA ON THE EDGE: IS THIS A BETRAYAL OF IMMIGRANTS?
Democratic state Senator Dave Cortese is NOT having it, opposing Newsom’s plan and declaring California’s commitment to its immigrant community. He says, "Congress may be walking away from its obligation, but California will NOT!"
Masih Fouladi from the California Immigrant Policy Center is also on the warpath, slamming the proposal for failing to reflect the state’s values.
As California grapples with its budget woes and public outrage, one thing is for sure: the drama is just heating up! Stay tuned, folks—the showdown over the Golden State’s financial future is only just beginning!
