Newsom May Revise Proposes Additional $1.1B Medi-Cal Cuts to Immigrant Coverage
Historical proposal record: Governor Newsom's May Revision (expected release May 14, 2026) reportedly included $1.1B in additional Medi-Cal cuts targeting full-scope coverage for ~200,000 immigrant survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, plus extension of work requirements to state-only programs. At the time, this compounded the already-tracked UIS PPS elimination, undocumented adult premium, UIS adult dental removal, and H.R.
1 6-month redetermination requirement. Signed-budget outcome: the June 29 budget moved the major UIS/PPS and UIS adult dental cuts into a July 1, 2027 planning horizon; use this item as historical context for how the May Revise pressure built, not current-law July 2026 guidance.
Key takeaways
- $1.1B additional cuts target full-scope Medi-Cal for ~200K DV/trafficking survivors
- Historical proposal stack; signed budget later moved major UIS/PPS and UIS adult dental cuts to July 1, 2027.
- Health4All coalition mobilizing — testimony window through June 15 conference committee
- Integrate DV/trafficking volume into FY26-27 uncompensated care projections
