[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 6081488, member: 12952"] Well ,this just killed Newsom's chances at any higher offices. “With these new investments [sic], California will become the first state to achieve universal access to health care coverage,” he had Newsom [URL='https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/29/california-become-first-state-offering-taxpayer-funded-health-insurance-all-illegal-aliens/']said[/URL] in a statement in June 2022. Originally, the state estimated it would cost around [URL='https://ebudget.ca.gov/2024-25/pdf/Enacted/BudgetSummary/HealthandHumanServices.pdf']$3 billion per year[/URL] to insure [undocumented immigrants]. But one year after the program has been fully implemented, it’s turning out to be more expensive than anticipated. California will need to borrow $3.44 billion to close a budget gap in the state’s Medicaid program, Newsom administration officials told lawmakers Wednesday in a letter obtained by POLITICO. That’s the maximum amount California can borrow, and will only be enough to cover bills for Medi-Cal — the state’s Medicaid program — through the end of the month, Department of Finance spokesperson H.D.
