Newsom continues to mismanage California, while casting a horny eye on the White House

The latest news that MediCal is waaaaay over budget because there are too many illegal aliens on the program reminded me of being cut off Cal Covered because my husband and I don’t make enough money. But non-citizens get Medi-Cal? To the tune of $2.7 BILLION?

“The administration acknowledged that more people are enrolled in the program than the state anticipated, and that the state is spending $2.7 billion more than it planned on coverage expansions for immigrants without legal status.“

Today I read that Newsom has acknowledged that he lobbied hard for those non-citizens to be given aid that is now being denied to citizens.  

My situation is unrelated, I’m not sure if illegal aliens have been allowed to enroll in California Covered. I just know my husband and I were very abruptly un-enrolled because our income was not keeping up with the increasing minimum income required for California Covered. See, Cal Covered is NOT about providing people with affordable insurance, it’s about making sure you can pay the deductible portion of your hospital bill.

Our alternative is MediCal, but I got Butte County Social Services to admit that if we enrolled in MediCal we would be agreeing to turn over our family home at our death to pay for services rendered. The county/state would determine how much we owed them, and then our kids would be left with the pickings, if anything. It is not uncommon for Californians to sue the State Recovery Program for keeping their parents’ entire estate, without providing records of money actually owed.

At 65 we can get Medicare, but it doesn’t cover everything, and patients can be left with deductibles. Doctors and hospitals can also choose not to accept Medicare, except under certain emergency conditions.

This is nuts, and we can thank the Governor and the Democratic-run legislature. They’ve lobbied for people who enter our country illegally to get benefits we pay for but are denied access to. I’d like to ask Gavin Newsom, personally, but wasn’t asked over to University Farms for his little get-together – “are you at war with the citizens of California? Is it because more people voted for Trump than ever before?”

When our house was burned, he and Kamala Harris told us we had voted for the wrong people. Is that what this is about?

And now he wants to run for president – how’s he planning to treat whole states that voted for Trump?

Uh-oh.
