California will lose millions of dollars in federal matching funds for the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, after Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration failed to fill out the necessary paperwork by a March 31 deadline.
CalMatters.org reported:
California voters told lawmakers last fall that they wanted doctors to get paid more to see low-income patients. But officials for the Newsom administration blew past a federal deadline to make that happen through Medi-Cal Monday, effectively leaving millions of dollars unclaimed.
The unclaimed money is tied to Proposition 35, a ballot measure passed by 68% of voters in November. The measure committed money from a special tax on health insurance plans to increase payments to doctors and health care facilities that treat low-income patients in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program.

Gavin Newsom is a greasy worm.
Yeah, kali is allocating funds to pay for medical for all the crimigrants (illegals) they’re protecting in violation of long standing laws. That’s what that greaseball Newsome is hiding.
THE LOW INCOME PATIENTS ARE ILLEGALS.
Cali Illegals and Terrorists Hardest Hit!
No problem
Newscum will find a way to blame Trump and the press will help him sell it to the public.
But his Kookifornians in Sacto have $50 million to fight Trump. Use that against them hard and often.
From January:
“ California Governor Gavin Newsom was crowing away in late November that the state had nearly eliminated its budget deficit, after that deficit had hit nearly $68 billion in late 2023. But the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office has crunched those numbers a little further as the state begins its 2025 budget process. And Newsom took to a stage in Turlock Monday to tout how that office concluded that California is no longer running a budget deficit, and is in fact now running a modest surplus.”
Sounds like they can afford to pay it themselves.
Fine, it’ll help pay back the countless times CA has come begging from the rest of us.
Somebody on Newsom’s budgeting staff is going to be under heavy fire today, for letting that due date slip by.
It probably won’t be Gavin himself. They are not accustomed to being held accountable for fiscal due diligence and other such “boring” endeavors.
SOmewhere out there is a worm union that is gonna be big mad at you!
CaCaLand is the origin of hypocrisy. Surely, you did not expect better?
A tax on health insurance plans?! Well now we know the answer to “what won’t CA tax?” They will tax any and every thing, and when they can get the entirety set up, they’ll tax the taxes!
“The measure committed money from a special tax on health insurance plans to increase payments to doctors and health care facilities that treat low-income patients in Medi-Cal...”
I swear...
...living and working in CA is like being chained to a gang of crack addicted baboons.
Yes they are the ones clogging up the hospitals for free care they caused many trauma centers to close down years ago.
