California Governor Proposes Pausing Expansion of Health Care to Low-Income Immigrants

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom proposed today to freeze new Medi-Cal enrollment for undocumented adults starting in 2026 in Sacramento.
  • The freeze follows a $6.2 billion Medi-Cal shortfall amid rising costs and a $16 billion state revenue loss blamed partly on Trump administration tariffs.
  • Beginning in 2027, undocumented adults will be required to contribute a $100 monthly fee to maintain their coverage, while existing enrollees and children will continue to receive benefits without change.
  • The administration estimates these changes could save $5.4 billion by 2029 but may reduce immigrant enrollment and face legislative scrutiny before the June budget deadline.
  • These actions reflect fiscal pressures despite Newsom’s continuing commitment to health care access for undocumented immigrants and ongoing state challenges.
