🚨🇺🇸CALIFORNIA JUST SPENT $2.8 BILLION TO SAVE A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM THAT’S… KIND OF ON FIRE Newsom just hit the emergency button on Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, which is currently drowning in bills—mostly because of a massive spike in coverage for illegal immigrants. Originally, this expansion was supposed to cost under $6 billion. Plot twist: it’s already at $8.4 billion. In one year. With 1.6 million undocumented enrollees and counting. Newsom’s answer? A $2.8 billion bailout and a “please help” loan request for another $3.4 billion. Total gap? $6.2 billion. It’s giving: budget black hole. Critics are not vibing. GOP Senate leader Brian Jones is shouting, “Legal residents come second!” and calling the whole thing a financial disaster waiting to happen. Meanwhile, patients are waiting longer, care is harder to access, and the system looks like it’s one overpriced Band-Aid away from collapsing. But Newsom? He’s all in—doubling down like it’s a Vegas table. Republicans are now demanding a full enrollment freeze before this turns into a full-blown policy meltdown. Source: Fox News
