Newsom to roll back healthcare for illegal immigrants as he blames 'Trump slump' for $12 billion deficit

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday called for his state to scale back healthcare for illegal immigrants in an effort to help balance the state budget that went from having a small surplus in January to being $12 billion in the red by May.

The move to limit healthcare for undocumented migrants is a reversal of Newsom’s promise to deliver “universal healthcare for all,” regardless of immigration status. It comes after the Trump administration announced it was investigating a state program that has provided cash assistance to some illegal immigrants who are older or have disabilities and are not eligible for federal aid.
