California Governor Gavin Newsom has spent $2.8 billion to bail out the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, which is overstretched by illegal immigrants. Last month, Newsom had requested another loan of $3.4 billion to cover the ailing program’s $6.2 billion deficit.

The new funding will only cover medical expenses for 15 million beneficiaries, including 1.6 million illegal immigrants, until June. The number of illegal immigrants living in California is estimated to be about 3 million (2.6 million in 2022, according to DHS), suggesting that over half were receiving free healthcare.

Additionally, the cost of covering them has increased from the projected $6 billion to $8.4 billion for the fiscal year 2024–2025. However, the cost will fall slightly for the next fiscal year to $7.4. Trump’s deportations could also significantly reduce the cost.

Keep Acting Local

Politicians you elect in your city, county, and state usually have a greater impact on your daily life than anyone in the federal government. During “off-years,” these local races send ripple effects throughout American communities. It is up to you to shape them.

It seems like every time we at Million Voices speak to lawmakers and their teams, they all tell us the same thing: if just 10 people in their district write letters about issues that matter to them, elected officials know they have a serious crisis on their hands. A thousand people could message that same lawmaker via email or social media, and it would mean nothing. But hand-written, or even printed and signed letters, will make your politicians take action (if they really care about your vote, that is).

Contacting your representatives should be easy, but there are myriad ways they can ignore your calls to action. That’s where we come in. 

Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides. Yes, we send letters from YOU directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. But what do you want? Tell us today.

We want to make YOU the hero of our American story by giving you the tools you need to make a difference, from your local, state, all the way up to the federal level.

Join us in our mission to advocate for religious freedom, support fair and secure elections, and uphold the values that this great nation was built upon. Tell us what you want from the next four years, and we will fight to make it a reality … again!
