The eyesom eyes have stopped in the expansion of the immigrant health care program
California Governor Gavin New Zoom (D) suggested on Wednesday a temporary hal from immigrants who entered the United States illegally from registration in the state -funded health care program, in order to reduce costs.
Medi-Cal currently provides health care coverage for low-income adults in the United States regardless of the legal situation.
Newsom said he hopes to start the operation by 2026 and will also plan to charge those who have already registered a traditional monthly premium, according to Associated Press. The installment price will be determined at $ 100 for those who do not have legal status and legal residents who are still not qualified to obtain Medicaid funded by the federal government.
Officials estimated that the program had cost the state more than $ 2.7 billion, amid a water deficit of $ 6.2 billion, according to AP. The program is fully funded by state dollars.
Because of the unexpected deficit, newsoms float to allow families and children already registered in the program to continue receiving coverage.
It is not clear how long the Medi-Cal freezing will stop.
“The state must take difficult but necessary steps to ensure financial stability and maintain the long-term feasibility of Medi-Cal for all California residents,” the ruler’s office said in a memorandum announced by the decision.
Golden Site struggled with an increase in prices after several fires in the synchronous forests destroyed by societies in the capital area in Los Angeles. Newsom has requested approximately $ 40 billion in federal funds to help recover efforts that are expected to cost billions.
