Former HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra rebukes Gov. Newsom's bid to end Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants
Briefly

Former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, running for California governor, expressed his disagreement with Governor Gavin Newsom's proposal to cut Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants due to a projected state budget deficit. He emphasized that denying healthcare access is not a solution and highlighted the urgent need to address California's affordability crisis, where many families feel they cannot thrive. Becerra's extensive political background includes previous roles as a U.S. representative and California attorney general. He aims to maintain care for vulnerable populations as part of his campaign.
I don't believe cutting health care is a good decision, and I would do everything I could as governor to avoid having to make those cuts.
Talk to Californians and they'll tell you, 'I can't afford to buy a house anymore. I don't know if I'm going to be able to afford to send my kids to college.'
