California Considers Reinstating Asset Test for Medi-Cal Eligibility Among Seniors and Disabled
Governor Newsom proposes reinstating an asset test for certain Medi-Cal applicants to address a $12B budget deficit, reversing a 2024 reform. Seniors and disabled individuals with assets over $2K ($3K for couples) could lose coverage. Advocates warn this penalizes savings and hurts equity. Broader cuts include limiting care for undocumented adults and removing benefits, sparking backlash from health groups urging protection for vulnerable communities.

Proximity to major ports fuels this surge, while retail and educational developments add community value.
