LA Times: As budget negotiating season heats up, Assembly Democrats are making their priorities clear, proposing $1 billion in new healthcare spending that includes expanding Medi-Cal coverage to young adults without legal status and subsidizing insurance premiums for the poor.
The plan was unveiled Monday in advance of the upcoming “May Revise” that details the governor’s updated budget proposal.
“Today’s action shows our commitment as an Assembly to improving our healthcare delivery system,” Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno) said. The package “makes healthcare more affordable and provides more access to care.”
