It won’t even make the local news. Bad for democrats = ignored!
Maybe the illegals they hired to fill government jobs didn’t understand the English on the filing forms.
Trump should freeze medicaid funds to states that distribute said funds to illegal aliens. Require e-verify for ALL recipients. California has handed out $6B in free healthcare to illegals, most of it federal money. Not a single federal dollar should pay for illegals in sanctuary states/cities.
The idea that any state gets any money at all from the federal government regardless of the reason has the Founding Fathers rolling in their graves. Particularly in light of the fact that the money is not just given because “its needed” out of the goodness of government’s heart - the money is used by government for bribery purposes.
Strings attached. You want this money? Oh. Yeah. Do what we want first.
No problem, just raise the taxes to cover it .... Californians will never notice.
WE DID????

“California voters told lawmakers last fall that they wanted doctors to get paid more to see low-income patients”
“We did???”
I’m guessing fine print in some Proposition?
No one is better at free money than California, so I suspect to get their mitts on it they would have to submit fraudulent data to do so. New sheriff in DC, so they let the time run out. Well it’s a theory.
More of a “mis-allocation of funds”, they are just spending the existing medical insurance tax money (’millions”) on general fund items instead of the new proposition mandated physician reimbursements like they should be doing. An “advisory committee” appointment problem by “Gruesome Newsom”., etc.
