Description:

Earlier this week, Governor Newsom unveiled his new plan to balance the California’s $12 Billion budget deficit–with cuts that are raising controversy.

The governor suggested putting the scalpel to Medi-Cal — California’s version of Medicaid. Newsom said that he wants to save the state money by capping enrollment of adult immigrants that are here illegally. He also proposed charging these individuals a $100 monthly co-pay to access public healthcare.

Hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos are joined by KQED Politics Correspondent, Guy Marzorati, to take a deep dive into how this all could play out in Sacramento.
