California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is proposing freezing undocumented
adult enrollment in full-scope Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, a fact
sheet the governor's office provided to Fox News Digital indicates.

The document notes that the proposed freeze would take effect "no sooner than
January 1, 2026," and would apply "to new adult applicants over age 19." People
would not "be kicked off their health care," according to the document.

It also notes that the Golden State governor is proposing a $100 per month
premium for Medi-Cal enrollees 19 and up with "unsatisfactory immigration
status," which "refers to people whose immigration status makes them ineligible
for federally funded Medicaid, including people with lawful status and the
undocumented" — this would take effect Jan. 1, 2027, under the proposal.

The proposed budgetary moves, which would need to clear state legislature, are
being partially blamed on President Donald Trump.

"Trump’s pendulum swings on tariffs have slowed the economy and weakened
state revenues by a staggering $16 billion," the document declares.

Newsom "refuses to turn his back on hardworking Californians, especially when
it comes to their basic health care needs," the release states. "But because of
the $16 billion Trump Slump and higher-than-expected health care utilization,
the state must take difficult but necessary steps to ensure fiscal stability
and preserve the long-term viability of Medi-Cal for all Californians."
