Issue
The Governor's 2026-27 May Revision leaves out a one-time $4M for community health workers and promotores to help people enroll in coverage, according to the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network. The same budget will not open the County Medical Services Program Loan Repayment Program for the 2026-27 cycle.
Up to about 3 million Californians risk losing coverage.
