California Gov. Gavin Newsom requests another $2.8 billion loan for Medi-Cal after recently asking for $3.44 billion to cover a shortfall, totaling over $6 billion. This shortfall arises from expanding Medi-Cal to include illegal aliens for free health insurance. The cost of insuring undocumented immigrants has exceeded the state’s plan by $2.7 billion. Other states, like Illinois, are also struggling with similar Medicaid issues for illegal migrants. California State Assemblyman Carl DeMaio warns that Medi-Cal is insolvent. Meanwhile, Newsom has ventured into podcasting amid the state’s fiscal challenges.
