It is just business as usual for one of the largest state governments...
The latest budget proposal from California Governor Jerry Brown does not account for possible changes to federal health care funding.
Brown says that’s because it’s impossible to tell whether a replacement by Republicans in Washington will become law and—if it does—how it will differ from the bill that passed Congress.
The measure would roll back an expansion of Medi-Cal. Brown says the state would either have to drop coverage for millions or pay an amount roughly equal to the entire cost of the University of California system.
"That kind of money would defund the university if you did it all from one source, so the only answer is to fight," he says. "We gotta stop it."
A chart behind Brown at his budget announcement
calculated the state would lose more than $5 billion of federal funds in 2019 and almost $25 billion within a decade.
