Sacramento, CA-\u00a0In 2021, Governor Newsom indicated he would not expand Medi-Cal for undocumented senior immigrants because it would worsen the budget in upcoming projected deficit years. Fast forward to 2024 and Newsom has changed his tune, committing the\u00a0state\u00a0<\/a>to fund healthcare\u00a0<\/a>for<\/a>\u00a0not only seniors but also all\u00a0<\/a>undocumented immigrants<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a\u00a0social media video<\/a>\u00a0posted last week,\u00a0Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones<\/a>\u00a0(R-San Diego) exposes Governor Newsom\u2019s flip-flop. The video, which has already garnered almost 600,000 views, highlights the governor expressing his concerns with funding healthcare for undocumented\u00a0immigrants, and then moving forward with the plan anyways, while the state faces a massive $73 billion budget deficit.

\u201cClassic Gavin \u2018Gaslight\u2019 Newsom, breaking his promise to Californians once again,\u201d\u00a0said Leader Jones.\u00a0\u201cMaybe we can get \u20182021 Newsom\u2019 and \u20182024 Newsom\u2019 in the same room to break down the budget. As \u20182021 Newsom\u2019 might say, this current plan is only \u2018exacerbating some of the structural challenges\u2019 of the deficit California faces. It\u2019s almost like this governor has budget amnesia and forgot what he told Californians, who will be on the hook for this expansion.\u00a0Then again, maybe it\u2019s just the \u2018Gavinomics.\u2019\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, when asked by a reporter about the expansion of Medi-Cal to undocumented seniors, Newsom said: \u201c\u2026 while we are enjoying the fruits of a lot of one-time energy and surplus \u2026 it\u2019s not permanent. And\u00a0we have to be mindful of overcommitting three plus billion dollars a year\u00a0\u2026 and exacerbating some of the structural challenges that we still have to face going forward. So,\u00a0we need to make sure that we\u2019re mindful, put our house in order, strong fiscal foundation.\u201d Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to watch the full video of Newsom\u2019s response.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Leader Jones\u00a0urged the governor to freeze the expansion<\/a>\u00a0and save taxpayers over $4 billion amidst the deficit. In December, Jones visited the California-Mexico border on a bipartisan tour to learn more about the border crisis on the ground.
