Governor Gavin Newsom warned that proposed cuts in a new budget bill could disrupt healthcare for up to 3.4 million Californians reliant on Medi-Cal. The bill could close rural hospitals and diminish food assistance. With over a third of Californians enrolled in Medi-Cal, the proposed requirement for work verification every six months could lead to significant disparities in healthcare access, particularly affecting children and low-income families. The measure reflects broader attempts to transform Medicaid under the Trump administration, introducing eligibility barriers that could jeopardize vital services for millions.
