Risk care
The radical changes proposed by the Republicans of the Chamber, combined with newly published federal rules of the Trump administration, would be:
- Eliminate the coverage for a maximum of 3.4 million Californians, largely among those covered by the expansion of the Act respecting affordable care (ACA)
- Cut at least $ 22 billion in Federal Medicaid funding by imposing heavy job loss penalties on low -income adults
- Punish of states like California which use state financing to cover undocumented residents for non -urgent services by reducing federal support of at least $ 4 billion per year
- Restress vital financing mechanisms, such as service providers and certain other payments that support Hospitals and California providers, which would result in the loss of billions of dollars
- Stop non -profit suppliers like Planned Parenthood by cutting them from the funding of Medicaid
These changes will result in hospitals and clinics closings, will increase unpaid care costs and release the progress that California has made to reduce its uninsured rate, threatening the status of the state as a national leader in the widening of access to care.
Health care leadership in California
Since its entry into office, Governor Newsom has made California a national leader in the expansion of access to health care. Under direction, the State has become the first of the country to offer all its low -income adults eligible for all low -income adults, regardless of immigration status – expand coverage for young adults in 2020, adults older in 2022 and all remaining adults in 2024. Californians, California’s commitment to access.
The Newsom administration has taken measures to reduce the costs of prescription drugs, extend access to boresic health and protect the coverage of millions of Californians in the midst of federal threats to the affordable care law.
