Summary
California just passed a bold new health tax bill designed to save Medi-Cal — the state’s Medicaid program — by flipping its tax structure: lowering taxes on Medi-Cal plans while raising them on private ones. The goal? Keep federal funding flowing, but the move could push up premiums for private plan holders. Critics warn it’s a hidden cost hike for families, while state leaders say it’s a necessary balance to fund critical care services. With $2.3 billion expected annually, the bill now awaits the governor’s signature — and federal approval, which is far from guaranteed.
