Durazo Calls for Reversal of Proposed Medi-Cal Cuts for Undocumented Californians
State Senator María 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.
