US EditionCongress advances $3.5 billion cut for CA for illegal immigrant health care
- Congress introduced a budget plan that would reduce federal funding to California by $3.5 billion due to the state's inclusion of undocumented immigrants in its publicly funded healthcare programs.
- This proposal follows analysis showing California spent $9.5 billion on illegal immigrant healthcare and faces a $10 billion budget deficit next fiscal year.
- The cut reduces California's federal reimbursement from 90% to 80%, impacting programs like Medi-Cal, which covers an estimated 1.9 million illegal immigrants.
- Marc Joffe, a fellow at the California Policy Center, explained that the $3.5 billion reduction in federal funds is equivalent to providing health care for about five million individuals at an average cost of $7,000 each year.
- Governor Gavin Newsom opposes ending Medi-Cal benefits for illegal immigrants despite budget strains, stating it is "not on my docket," while Republicans warn the program risks insolvency.
