I agree with your explanation of the problem, but I'm not sure what Newsom is supposed to do about it. LauraInLA May 14 #22

If he wants to be on the national stage Keepthesoulalive May 14 #29

Granted. As stated in the article, he explained the reason for this cut, and I think it makes perfect sense. LauraInLA May 14 #30

If he is serious about the budget cuts Keepthesoulalive May 14 #32

For all I know, the employers may already do so. The Feds do not allow offering ACA coverage to undocumented LauraInLA May 14 #33

Mr Newsome should be more forward thinking Keepthesoulalive May 14 #19

I doubt he will be the nominee. BannonsLiver May 14 #20

If he is capitulating to the right wing now Keepthesoulalive May 14 #25

I'm guessing that if he's not the nominee it's unlikely he will be president. BannonsLiver May 14 #34

It appears he wants to be on the national stage in som capacity Keepthesoulalive May 14 #38

Not sure I'd quite agree. I see him as a popinjay, but I also think he's trying to be fiscally responsible. LauraInLA May 14 #48

His proposal explicitly excludes funding for emergency services and pregnancy, so the state will still pay. LauraInLA May 14 #23

Well, that's something TexasBushwhacker May 14 #46

Very true. LauraInLA May 14 #47

I believe his financial numbers are correct, and that from a budget standpoint CA will have to make this choice, LauraInLA May 14 #21

Yes, much better if undocumented immigrants with MDR tuberculosis or bird flu can't get medical care . . . hatrack May 14 #39

WTF? karin_sj May 14 #8

WTH happened to Newsom? Ritabert May 14 #10

Look at our fiscal numbers -- I think he is making a hard but necessary choice here. The Feds are about to hit us LauraInLA May 14 #24

People occasionally need healthcare whether they're "illegal" or not Ritabert May 14 #36

I agree that everyone needs healthcare sometimes -- I'd assume that's why emergency services will still LauraInLA May 14 #37
