Durazo Calls for Reversal of Proposed Medi-Cal Cuts for Undocumented Californians

State Senator MarĂ­a Elena Durazo has urged California lawmakers to reverse proposed reductions in health care coverage for undocumented immigrants following the release of the revised 2026-27 state budget. According to a press release from Durazo, the May Revision maintains an existing Medi-Cal enrollment freeze and proposes an increase in monthly premiums for enrolled undocumented adults from $30 to $50. Additionally, the budget revision includes provisions to limit full-scope Medi-Cal coverage for specific immigrant populations, including refugees and asylees, effective July 1, 2027.
