Summary
California’s state budget battle heats up as lawmakers push past the governor’s proposal, adding $6 billion thanks to stronger-than-expected tax revenues. Key healthcare cuts—like Medi-Cal premium hikes for undocumented adults and reduced dental payments—are being rejected or scaled back. Advocates for In-Home Supportive Services celebrate as the Legislature protects vital home care for people with disabilities. Still, experts warn that even with this boost, federal funding cuts remain a major gap. With July 1 looming, the final deal could reshape daily lives for thousands relying on state programs.
