Speaker Ferrandino is presenting SB200, "increasing income eligibility for certain groups in the medicaid program to 133% of poverty" SB22 will increase enrollment by an estimated 240,000 people at a cost of $858 million. Currently, health spending accounts for 1/3 of the state budget. I am sure this will pass, most likely on a party line vote. We can pass this bill and we can pay for health care, but we cannot force health care workers to continue to serve more and more people at less and less compensation as medicaid covers procedures at a fraction of real cost.
