California Billionaire Tax Act Proposed: $100B Revenue Source Could Offset H.R. 1 Healthcare Cuts
A proposed California Billionaire Tax Act would generate up to $100B in state revenue, explicitly framed as a response to H.R. 1 stripping $100B from CA healthcare over 5 years.
If enacted, this could be the largest single state-level funding source to offset federal Medicaid cuts. The proposal faces significant political opposition but represents the most ambitious state counteroffensive to federal cuts yet proposed.
