The State of California is set to become the first state in the country to offer all undocumented immigrants, regardless of their age, state-subsidized health insurance starting 2024.This move comes from Governor Gavin Newsom’s State Budget Plan that includes expanding the state’s Medi-Cal program, which already offers state-subsidized health insurance to those younger than 26 and over the age of 50. On Thursday, (June 30) Gov Newsom signed a $307.9 billion operating state budget, agreeing to provide coverage for an additional 764,000 people at a cost of about $2.7 billion a year.
“This will represent the biggest expansion of coverage in the nation since the start of the Affordable Care Act in 2014." said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a statewide consumer health care advocacy group.
