California legislators have been told to expect a deficit of $10 billion or more even if revenues do not fall due to higher than anticipated spending.
Critics note that the $10 billion figure matches estimated costs of the state’s expansion of eligibility for Medi-Cal, the state’s taxpayer-financed health care system, to all income-qualifying illegal immigrants.
In February, state officials said California had spent $9.5 billion thus far on Medi-Cal services for illegal immigrants, The Center Square first reported, resulting in California Gov. Gavin Newsom requesting a $6.4 billion emergency bailout to fund the program for the remainder of the fiscal year.
No doubt, many of you on the looney left will be reaching out to Newsom to explain to him illegals don't get free medical.
