And some Californians can’t afford to keep their coverage.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The federal Department of Justice has \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064030/justice-department-joins-gop-lawsuit-to-block-proposition-50-map\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">joined a lawsuit\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> seeking to overturn Proposition 50, the ballot measure approved by California voters last week, that will redraw the state’s congressional maps. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lawyers representing victims of the Eaton Fire say Southern California Edison is \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/edison-eaton-fire-litigation-mediation\">using delay tactics\u003c/a> in court.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Despite End Of Government Shutdown, Millions Of Californians In Healthcare Limbo\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Roughly two million Californians who buy insurance through the state’s marketplace now face steep price hikes after the Trump administration refused to extend enhanced federal tax credits. That’s because Congress didn’t reach a deal on healthcare while passing a spending plan to fund the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin Miller was born and raised in California. A 38-year-old actor and writer in Los Angeles, Miller adapts scripts and does some voiceover work. But, artificial intelligence has upended that corner of the industry. “I no longer can afford to remain a creative. I have been trying to find a job for two years,” Miller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about to get worse. Miller’s health insurance is increasing by 60% — hundreds of dollars more each month — money Miller and his husband don’t have to spare. “We are suffering. We have not been able to pay our mortgage half the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller is like a lot of others right now in California. With Congress still undecided on whether to extend pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies, hundreds of thousands of Californians are preparing for substantial increases in health insurance premiums beginning next year. Carin Lenk Sloane has lived in Davis for the past 26 years. “And now my husband and I are both talking about leaving the U.S. to go to a country where we are not being forced into debt just so that we can have basic healthcare,” she said. Right now, she pays $1,500 a month to cover herself, her husband, and their daughter in college. Next year, the same high deductible plan through Covered California will be well more than double. “Upwards of $44,000 for us next year,” Sloane said. “We just don’t know where we’re gonna find the money to make that happen.” She’s even considering going without healthcare coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064030/justice-department-joins-gop-lawsuit-to-block-proposition-50-map\">\u003cstrong>Justice Department Joins GOP Lawsuit To Block Proposition 50 Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice on Thursday joined a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063055/california-republicans-sue-over-proposition-50-alleging-unconstitutional-racial-bias\">lawsuit to block\u003c/a> new congressional district lines approved by California voters last week through \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12062781/proposition-50-passes-in-california-boosting-democrats-in-fight-for-us-house-control\">Proposition 50\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063005/california-overwhelmingly-approves-prop-50-democrats-celebrate\">championed the congressional maps\u003c/a> as an attempt to help Democrats win more seats in the House of Representatives, countering Republican-led gerrymandering in states such as Texas. But California Republicans argued in a suit filed last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063016/how-prop-50s-win-reshapes-californias-2026-elections\">that the maps\u003c/a> unfairly advantage Latino voters over other Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration joined that lawsuit, asking a judge in the Central District of California to block the new map from taking effect for the 2026 midterm elections. “California Democrats are openly gerrymandering by race in this case,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on social media platform X. “That’s immoral and illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 50 was overwhelmingly approved last week, winning support from 64% of voters. The measure sets aside political lines drawn by an independent citizens commission and enacts a map that could help Democrats flip up to five seats currently held by Republicans — and protect a handful of incumbent Democrats from competitive challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/edison-eaton-fire-litigation-mediation\">Court Filing Alleges Edison Is Delaying Eaton Fire Litigation And Potential Mediation\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawyers representing victims of the Eaton Fire allege that Southern California Edison is intentionally delaying litigation and potential discussions to enter into a faster mediation process in order to increase participation in its voluntary \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/edison-payout-guide\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">payout program\u003c/a> .

The filing also says, as further evidence of the company’s belief it started the fire, that Edison entered into an agreement with an undisclosed insurance company to pay them back for Eaton Fire losses. Edison denies the allegations, calling them “baseless” in the same court document. The company argued that the investigation into the cause of the Eaton Fire needs to be completed before entering into mediation and that the plaintiffs’ characterization of the delays are “misleading and misplaced.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s because Congress didn’t reach a deal on healthcare while passing a spending plan to fund the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin Miller was born and raised in California. A 38-year-old actor and writer in Los Angeles, Miller adapts scripts and does some voiceover work. But, artificial intelligence has upended that corner of the industry. “I no longer can afford to remain a creative. I have been trying to find a job for two years,” Miller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about to get worse. Miller’s health insurance is increasing by 60% — hundreds of dollars more each month — money Miller and his husband don’t have to spare. “We are suffering. We have not been able to pay our mortgage half the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller is like a lot of others right now in California. With Congress still undecided on whether to extend pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies, hundreds of thousands of Californians are preparing for substantial increases in health insurance premiums beginning next year. Carin Lenk Sloane has lived in Davis for the past 26 years. “And now my husband and I are both talking about leaving the U.S. to go to a country where we are not being forced into debt just so that we can have basic healthcare,” she said. Right now, she pays $1,500 a month to cover herself, her husband, and their daughter in college. Next year, the same high deductible plan through Covered California will be well more than double. “Upwards of $44,000 for us next year,” Sloane said. “We just don’t know where we’re gonna find the money to make that happen.” She’s even considering going without healthcare coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064030/justice-department-joins-gop-lawsuit-to-block-proposition-50-map\">\u003cstrong>Justice Department Joins GOP Lawsuit To Block Proposition 50 Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice on Thursday joined a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063055/california-republicans-sue-over-proposition-50-alleging-unconstitutional-racial-bias\">lawsuit to block\u003c/a> new congressional district lines approved by California voters last week through \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12062781/proposition-50-passes-in-california-boosting-democrats-in-fight-for-us-house-control\">Proposition 50\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063005/california-overwhelmingly-approves-prop-50-democrats-celebrate\">championed the congressional maps\u003c/a> as an attempt to help Democrats win more seats in the House of Representatives, countering Republican-led gerrymandering in states such as Texas. But California Republicans argued in a suit filed last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063016/how-prop-50s-win-reshapes-californias-2026-elections\">that the maps\u003c/a> unfairly advantage Latino voters over other Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration joined that lawsuit, asking a judge in the Central District of California to block the new map from taking effect for the 2026 midterm elections. “California Democrats are openly gerrymandering by race in this case,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on social media platform X. “That’s immoral and illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 50 was overwhelmingly approved last week, winning support from 64% of voters. The measure sets aside political lines drawn by an independent citizens commission and enacts a map that could help Democrats flip up to five seats currently held by Republicans — and protect a handful of incumbent Democrats from competitive challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/edison-eaton-fire-litigation-mediation\">Court Filing Alleges Edison Is Delaying Eaton Fire Litigation And Potential Mediation\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawyers representing victims of the Eaton Fire allege that Southern California Edison is intentionally delaying litigation and potential discussions to enter into a faster mediation process in order to increase participation in its voluntary \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/edison-payout-guide\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">payout program\u003c/a> .

The filing also says, as further evidence of the company’s belief it started the fire, that Edison entered into an agreement with an undisclosed insurance company to pay them back for Eaton Fire losses. Edison denies the allegations, calling them “baseless” in the same court document. The company argued that the investigation into the cause of the Eaton Fire needs to be completed before entering into mediation and that the plaintiffs’ characterization of the delays are “misleading and misplaced.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That makes up the bulk of next year’s increase. But Altman said about 2% of the rate increase in the state’s version of the Affordable Care Act marketplace is based on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2025/07/gop-budget-increases-health-insurance-costs/\">federal financial assistance that expires at the end of the year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2025/07/federal-budget-health-care-medicaid-medi-cal/\">President Donald Trump’s signature spending and tax reform bill\u003c/a> — the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — left out funding for enhanced premium tax credits used by more than 90% of Affordable Care Act enrollees nationwide. Congress enacted these subsidies during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure people had health insurance. Since then, Affordable Care Act enrollment has nearly doubled nationwide from 12 million to 24 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve never been through a loss in affordability like the expiration of the enhanced tax credits,” Altman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-regulation/mh-congress-medicare-advantage-telehealth-doctor-pay/\">Congress could still decide to re-up the subsidies in September\u003c/a>. If it doesn’t, California will lose about $2.1 billion in enhanced tax credits for consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Double whammy for consumers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ariana Brill, a certified health insurance agent who helps people enroll in Covered California, said if the enhanced subsidies aren’t renewed, consumers’ pocketbooks will be hit twice next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll see rates go up. We’ll see assistance go down. And the net premium, the consumer’s take home price, is going to go up considerably,” Brill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Open enrollment typically starts on Nov. 1, but Brill said clients are already calling her with concerns about increases. A majority of her clients, about 2,600 of them, will have to pay significantly more for health care if Congress doesn’t extend the enhanced subsidies, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that happens, Brill said she expects some people to switch to less comprehensive, lower-cost plans to make ends meet. Others will drop coverage altogether. [aside postID=\"news_12049673,news_12051104\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For most people, affordability is a huge part of their decision making. Very few of us have the luxury of buying things without looking at the price,” Brill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials recently took steps to ease the potential loss of federal subsidies for the lowest-income Covered California members. The state will spend $190 million to maintain subsidies for people earning up to 150% of the federal poverty level (individuals earning about $23,000 or families of four earning about $48,000).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, that investment is far short of the $2.1 billion the state stands to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covered California’s previous estimates indicate that 600,000 people could drop coverage as a result of lost subsidies and rising costs. That, in turn, could make health care even more expensive, experts say. That’s because younger and healthier people tend to forego coverage first, leaving sicker and more costly people behind. To meet their needs, insurers have to charge more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With those lower utilization people leaving the marketplace, which leaves only the high cost users in the pool, it drives up premiums for those who are left,” said Matthew McGough, a policy analyst for KFF’s Affordable Care Act program who co-authored a recent\u003ca href=\"https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/how-much-and-why-aca-marketplace-premiums-are-going-up-in-2026/#Distribution%20of%20proposed%202026%20rate%20changes%20among%20312%20ACA%20Marketplace%20insurers\"> study looking at 2026 premium increases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More people seeking health care and higher prices are already the primary factor driving annual rate increases, McGough said. Some of that can be attributed to the aging population and widespread use of costly pharmaceuticals like Ozempic and Wegovy to treat diabetes and other chronic health conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But insurers nationally and in California have pointed out other factors contributing significantly to increased costs. These include tariffs on drugs and medical devices, enrollment and eligibility changes included in Trump’s budget package, and inflation. Most insurers are assuming Congress won’t extend the enhanced premium tax credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the median premium increase for next year is 18%, according to the KFF analysis. Loss of subsidies accounts for 4%, McGough said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely a significant factor this year and that along with the general environment of uncertainty are what is pushing these rates above what we’ve seen in the past few years,” McGough said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Supported by the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), which works to ensure that people have access to the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford.

That makes up the bulk of next year’s increase. But Altman said about 2% of the rate increase in the state’s version of the Affordable Care Act marketplace is based on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2025/07/gop-budget-increases-health-insurance-costs/\">federal financial assistance that expires at the end of the year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2025/07/federal-budget-health-care-medicaid-medi-cal/\">President Donald Trump’s signature spending and tax reform bill\u003c/a> — the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — left out funding for enhanced premium tax credits used by more than 90% of Affordable Care Act enrollees nationwide. Congress enacted these subsidies during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure people had health insurance. Since then, Affordable Care Act enrollment has nearly doubled nationwide from 12 million to 24 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Very few of us have the luxury of buying things without looking at the price,” Brill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials recently took steps to ease the potential loss of federal subsidies for the lowest-income Covered California members. The state will spend $190 million to maintain subsidies for people earning up to 150% of the federal poverty level (individuals earning about $23,000 or families of four earning about $48,000).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, that investment is far short of the $2.1 billion the state stands to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covered California’s previous estimates indicate that 600,000 people could drop coverage as a result of lost subsidies and rising costs. That, in turn, could make health care even more expensive, experts say. That’s because younger and healthier people tend to forego coverage first, leaving sicker and more costly people behind. To meet their needs, insurers have to charge more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With those lower utilization people leaving the marketplace, which leaves only the high cost users in the pool, it drives up premiums for those who are left,” said Matthew McGough, a policy analyst for KFF’s Affordable Care Act program who co-authored a recent\u003ca href=\"https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/how-much-and-why-aca-marketplace-premiums-are-going-up-in-2026/#Distribution%20of%20proposed%202026%20rate%20changes%20among%20312%20ACA%20Marketplace%20insurers\"> study looking at 2026 premium increases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More people seeking health care and higher prices are already the primary factor driving annual rate increases, McGough said. Some of that can be attributed to the aging population and widespread use of costly pharmaceuticals like Ozempic and Wegovy to treat diabetes and other chronic health conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But insurers nationally and in California have pointed out other factors contributing significantly to increased costs. These include tariffs on drugs and medical devices, enrollment and eligibility changes included in Trump’s budget package, and inflation. Most insurers are assuming Congress won’t extend the enhanced premium tax credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the median premium increase for next year is 18%, according to the KFF analysis. Loss of subsidies accounts for 4%, McGough said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely a significant factor this year and that along with the general environment of uncertainty are what is pushing these rates above what we’ve seen in the past few years,” McGough said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Supported by the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), which works to ensure that people have access to the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford.

Many of the telescopes were the size of cannons, guided precisely by maps on tablets. Typically, star parties are hosted in places with less light pollution, like Millerton Lake, or more people, like Fresno’s River Park shopping center.

They’re in the sky.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 400 people including Lopez gathered for a rare event called a “star party.” It took place on the Kerman High School football field. The lights were off, because the real show was up above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of the Central Valley Astronomers, families, students, and stargazers of all ages were getting the chance to look deep into space through powerful electronic telescopes. “We can point the telescope to somewhere in the sky that you think is completely empty and sure enough, you can see some amazing things,” said Brian Bellis, vice president and event coordinator of the Central Valley Astronomers organization. “Star clusters, nebulas, other galaxies, it’s really fabulous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bellis and other volunteers from the group helped visitors view sights like the moon, Mars, and the Hercules Cluster, a tight group of about a quarter of a million stars. Many of the telescopes were the size of cannons, guided precisely by maps on tablets. Typically, star parties are hosted in places with less light pollution, like Millerton Lake, or more people, like Fresno’s River Park shopping center.

Parents of children 13 and under and people with mental and physical disabilities will be exempt from the work requirements. The new requirement takes effect Dec. 31, 2026, although states could choose to start sooner.[aside postID=news_12047647 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/hospital-1180x787.jpg']The Urban Institute estimates that this rule alone could force \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2025/05/medicaid-work-requirement-california-congress/\">up to 1.4 million Californians\u003c/a> off their Medi-Cal insurance in the first year of implementation — not necessarily because they don’t work, but because filing paperwork is likely to pose a challenge for many enrollees. Enrollment counselors say some workers, such as housekeepers and gardeners, don’t have regular paychecks or documentation to prove their employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This same group of adults will have to reapply for coverage every six months, instead of once a year. And those who earn more than $15,060 a year, starting in October 2028, may have a co-pay of up to $35 per visit — although the exact amount will be up to states. Some visits will be exempt, such as prenatal and primary care, pediatric care and emergency room visits.

Lower-income people will see the biggest premium increase because they receive more subsidies, said Covered California Executive Director Jessica Altman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those making less than 400% of the federal poverty level (about $60,240 per year for an individual) are \u003ca href=\"https://hbex.coveredca.com/data-research/library/Brief%201%20IRA%20ACA%20Premium%20Impacts%202025.pdf\">projected to pay an average of $191 more monthly\u003c/a>, according to Covered California data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 170,000 middle-income enrollees will lose financial assistance entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other changes made in Trump’s sweeping budget and policy bill include the elimination of automatic renewal, more income verification requirements and limiting special enrollment periods. The groups most likely to forego coverage because of administrative barriers are those who are young and healthy, Altman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combined, the added enrollment complexities, along with higher out-of-pocket costs, are expected to drive nearly 600,000 Californians off of coverage, according to Covered California projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Hospital cuts could impact everyone\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When people lose coverage, they are likely to skip routine care; they wait until they are very sick and then visit an emergency room.

In 2023, California \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2023/08/california-hospitals-bailout-loans/\">rolled out $300 million in interest-free loans\u003c/a> to bail out 17 distressed hospitals. The state, currently dealing with a budget deficit, would have a harder time helping hospitals again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those distressed hospital loans came at a time of abundance. Those distressed hospital loans came at a time when we had much more stability with state funds and federal funds, and they were 3x the request for support,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A funding ban for Planned Parenthood\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Effective immediately after Trump signed the bill, Planned Parenthood clinics were banned from receiving federal Medi-Cal payments. Three days later, a federal judge \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/us/planned-parenthood-medicaid-funding.html\">temporarily blocked the funding cut\u003c/a> after Planned Parenthood sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the litigation plays out, advocates say the move could be financially devastating to clinics across the country. In California, a million people use Planned Parenthood clinics each year, and Medi-Cal makes up 80% of its patients.[aside postID=news_12048636 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-1020x680.jpg']Federal law already prohibits the use of federal dollars to pay for abortions except in\u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/issue-brief/the-hyde-amendment-and-coverage-for-abortion-services-under-medicaid-in-the-post-roe-era/\"> extremely limited instances\u003c/a>. But Planned Parenthood does much more than that for patients. While it’s the largest abortion provider in the state, abortions account for less than 10% of its services. Contraceptives, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment and check ups account for the vast majority of patient visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Planned Parenthood clinics stand to lose more than $300 million, jeopardizing their ability to remain open. The national Planned Parenthood association estimates that 200 clinics across two dozen states are at risk of closure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All clinics are open and taking patients, said Jodi Hicks, affiliate CEO and president. But the funding cuts could amount to a de facto abortion ban because in many California communities, Planned Parenthood is the only provider that performs abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People should be angry,” Hicks said. “We will fight back with every tool that we have to ensure that patients are able to be seen at our health centers, but the damage of defunding an entity that has such a large footprint in California is deep.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Some kids will lose health care and food stamps \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of health and social services cuts in the federal budget are aimed at adults, but experts say \u003ca href=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com/9fd8e81d-74db-00ef-d0b1-5d17c12fdda9/2c986338-438c-491e-9420-e07c99ead14d/No%20Place%20to%20Hide%20-%20Children%20Will%20Be%20Hurt%20by%20Medicaid%20Cuts%20-%20Brief%20FINAL%2005%2006%202025.pdf\">kids will suffer as well\u003c/a>.

The state insurance program also pays for some school-based health services, such as counseling and speech therapy.[aside postID=news_12021287 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/20241112_TRADITIONALHEALING_GC-15-KQED-1020x680.jpg']One of the biggest health cuts targeting children specifically restricts eligibility for the Children’s Health Insurance Program to legal permanent residents, meaning other immigrant children with temporary legal status such as visas or refugee status could not qualify. California already provides health care for all children regardless of immigration status, but the federal prohibition means the state will have to pay more if it wants to continue covering them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of the Medi-Cal cuts, the budget bill makes significant changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, often referred to as food stamps. It institutes stricter work requirements for many adults including veterans and parents of teenagers, ties future spending to inflation and shifts more of the cost-sharing onto states. Similar to the immigration requirement for children’s Medi-Cal, food stamp eligibility will also be restricted to legal permanent residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office estimates that 735,000 people will lose food stamps. Early estimates from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.urban.org/research/publication/how-senate-budget-reconciliation-snap-proposals-will-affect-families-every-us\">Urban Institute\u003c/a> project that 3.1 million California families will lose at least some of their food assistance. About a third of all newborns in California are enrolled in food stamp programs, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/policy-brief-tracking-calfresh-participation-among-young-children/\">Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Supported by the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), which works to ensure that people have access to the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford.

So he takes his wallet out to show them. And he said that one of the agents took his wallet from him, with his real ID in it,” Mejia said. “And then he takes this phone out so he could tell them about his disability, because that’s how he can communicate.

So he takes his wallet out to show them. And he said that one of the agents took his wallet from him, with his real ID in it,” Mejia said. “And then he takes this phone out so he could tell them about his disability, because that’s how he can communicate. And they just take his phone away. They put him into one of the SUV’s.
