US EditionNewsom labels Vance ‘dips—‘ over migrant health care spending claim
Gavin Newsom disputes claims that Democrats' spending bill funds free health care for undocumented immigrants, noting federal law bars such coverage and less than 1% of Medicaid aids them.
- On September 29, 2025, California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted a four-word tweet responding to a GOP claim about Democrats’ health-care demands.
- The allegation centers on a $1.5 trillion package Vice President JD Vance claimed funds health care for undocumented immigrants, while Democrats say their priority is extending Affordable Care Act subsidies and reversing Medicaid cuts.
- Under current law, Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program do not cover undocumented immigrants, and emergency Medicaid reimburses hospitals but accounted for less than 1% of Medicaid spending in fiscal 2023, KFF reported.
- Democrats pushed back, saying federal law and their continuing-resolution text prohibit coverage for undocumented immigrants as Congress faces the October 1, 2025 deadline to avoid a shutdown.
- Public polling indicates that 75% oppose a shutdown as KFF warns premiums could rise more than 75% in 2026, following record 24 million sign-ups this year with 92% subsidized.
