California Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to make his state the first to offer universal health care to all residents, but it would mean raising taxes to help pay for it.
Newsom announced the plan Tuesday, stating that he wants to provide coverage for everyone living in the state, including illegal immigrants."Here in the largest state in our union, the state of California, we are positioned with this budget to be able to deliver on what we’ve been promoting: universal health care for all, regardless of pre-existing condition, regardless of the ability to pay and regardless of your immigration status," he said.
The Democratic governor also had a message for those who oppose such a move, claiming, "We have universal health care in this state, in this country, but it’s only on the back end. It’s called the emergency room and it’s costing you, the taxpayer, a fortune.""We said we were going to do it," Newsom said. "We said it would take a few years. We're committed to doing it.
