Newsom’s Plan to Balance Budget Could Face Tough Going in Sacramento

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

He also proposed charging these individuals a $100 monthly co-pay for Medi-Cal access. Hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos are joined by KQED Politics Correspondent, Guy Marzorati, to take a deep dive into how this all could play out in Sacramento. Learn more about your ad choices.
