Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said his spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year will call for requiring all undocumented adults to pay $100 monthly premiums to receive coverage and for blocking all new adult applications to the program as of Jan.

Ozempic and Wegovy would no longer be covered by the state’s health insurance for low-income people under the governor’s proposal.

Governor Gavin Newsom wants to cut benefits to California’s undocumented residents as part of an effort to trim the state’s budget deficit.

State Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson anticipates that California's sprawling Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, may need to be dialed back after Gov. Gavin Newsom releases his latest budget, which could reflect a multibillion-dollar deficit.
