Shortly after he took office on Monday, California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom unearthed an unprecedented new health care agenda for his state, aimed at offering dramatically more benefits to illegal immigrants and protecting the embattled Affordable Care Act, which a federal judge recently struck down as unconstitutional.
The sweeping proposal appeared destined to push California -- already one of the nation's most liberal states -- even further to the left, as progressive Democrats there won a veto-proof supermajority in the state legislature in November and control all statewide offices.
"People's lives, freedom, security, the water we drink, the air we breathe — they all hang in the balance," Newsom, 51, told supporters Monday in a tent outside the state Capitol building, as he discussed his plans to address issues from homelessness to criminal justice and the environment. "The country is watching us, the world is watching us. The future depends on us, and we will seize this moment."
Newsom unveiled his new health-care plan hours after a protester interrupted his swearing-in ceremony to protest the murder of police Cpl. Ronil Singh shortly after Christmas Day. The suspect in Singh's killing is an illegal immigrant with several prior arrests, and Republicans have charged that so-called "sanctuary state" policies, like the ones Newsom has championed, contributed to the murder by prohibiting state police from cooperating with federal immigration officials.
As one of his first orders of business, Newsom -- who also on Monday requested that the Trump administration cooperate in the state's efforts to convert to a single-payer system -- declared his intent to reinstate the ObamaCare individual mandate at the state level.

Sorry, but you’ll have to drive the state of california further into the ground by yourself.
We do what we want!
Hope the agrarian laborers can pay enough tax to fund it - because that’s all Newsom will have left.
An adulterer “Moonbeam” on steroids. He cares more for illegals than citizens who pay his salary.
Jerry Brown Jr the destroyer of SF
He thinks he’s creating a Red China.
He’s going to end up with another Venezuela.
Who’s paying for this? Can I drive from out of state to use California’s free heath care?
Just pay for it!
“The country is watching us, the world is watching us.

And they are laughing at you.
Of course..its ALL about importing more illegals into our country so they will vote Democrat..meanwhile the rest of us have to suffer because illegals have top priority over the rest of us
Just pay for it.
Red China abandoned it’s single payer system more than a decade ago.
Sure hope they have proof of the voter fraud he used to get elected.
Is this the same State so far in debt they were paying bills with IOUs not that long ago?
yeah and an unfunded 225 billion future public employee pension debt. Brown did nothing about the pension in 8 years in the pocket of public unions.
well on their way to the Venezuela model.
Bankrupt in 5 years. Looking for bailout from everyone else.
Did he cheat on Kim?
