Backed by soaring revenues amid the pandemic, California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Jan. 10 proposed a budget that would pay for the health care of all the state’s low-income residents living in the country illegally, the Associated Press reports. California taxpayers already pay for the health care of young adults and people 50 and over living in the country illegally, provided they meet certain income requirements.
