On his first day in office, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled an ambitious healthcare plan. Now Democrats in the Legislature say they want the governor to go further.
On his first day in office, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled an ambitious healthcare plan, including a dramatic Medi-Cal expansion that would cover young adults in the U.S. illegally and provide new subsidies to help middle-class families afford insurance.
Micah Weinberg, president of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, said he hopes the governor sticks with a more measured plan. While visiting Fresno in December, Newsom told reporters that while he served as mayor of San Francisco, the city provided healthcare coverage to all immigrants who entered the country illegally. But he also cautioned about the steep price of implementing such a system statewide.
