California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a significant change in his approach to healthcare for undocumented immigrants. Facing a projected $12 billion budget deficit, Newsom is calling for a pause on the enrollment of low-income undocumented adults in the state Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. This proposal marks a reversal from his earlier promises of universal healthcare coverage and aims to stop the expansion of health benefits for undocumented residents amid financial concerns. Critics argue that this plan betrays vulnerable communities, while proponents point to the necessity of fiscal responsibility.
