Gavin Newsom proposes $2,000 asset eligibility test to control soaring state Medi-Cal costs

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing an "asset test" for seniors to prove eligibility for Medi-Cal healthcare benefits for low-income Californians in response to a budget shortfall. To qualify, people would have to possess less than $2,000 in assets to qualify.

The assets included in the test would be salary, money in a bank account, cash on hand, a second car, home value and retirement funds. Applicants with more than $2,000 in assets would be ineligible for Medi-Cal.

Disability Rights California, a nonprofit, said the proposal would do "tremendous harm" to Californians.

"While we understand the reality of budget shortfalls and that cuts will sometimes be necessary, the priorities and reality of this May revision are even worse than what we imagined," the group said in a statement. "It demonstrates a continued willingness on the part of the governor to sacrifice the health and human services of California’s people, particularly the disabled, poor, and elderly populations of this abundant state."

The group added that the asset test "effectively demands extreme poverty in order to continue receiving critical healthcare."

 
:ohno:
Why specifically Seniors?
To clean them out, make them totally dependant on the State, then start killing them off with assisted suicide. That assisted suicide thing came in to "solve" the problem of people taking too long to die and quit being a drain on the system up here in Canada. As soon as it started, the Vancouver health people started asking people to sign onto an assisted death or they wouldn't help with home care and hospice.

I believe it.
Its legal in California as well as a few other States. The States have been expanding on the legalities permitted, and California is one of them. This is the most recent amendment in California below and the link included shows what other States are doing the same.....



California—Assisted suicide is already legal in the state. SB403, a bill (which is similar to a bill from the previous legislative session SB1196) seeks to amend the 2015 End of Life Option Act. This bill calls for a study to make the following changes: Permitting IV self-administration will allow for euthanasia, permit non-doctors to assist suicide, eliminate the terminal illness requirement, eliminate the residency requirement to allow for suicide tourism.

SB403 was introduced and read for the first time on February 14. The bill was sent to the Rules Committee, amended twice then sent to Senate Committees on Health and Judiciary. On April 29, a hearing was held in Judiciary and the committee passed the bill out of committee to be sent to the Appropriations Committee.

 
It is said Caflironia is the liberal literal idea for the rest of the country. I'm glad there is pressure from the Trump admin. But not sure how bad it has to get here before some hopeful real change 😱

If Im not mistaken, every State where this is legal and are amending the laws to expand the legalities are Blue States, run by leftist politicians.
 
Without a residency requirement, what's to stop someone from taking someone involuntarily across the border and having him or her euthanized? Like unethical pain clinics, I can see unethical euthanasia clinics popping up. Or cheap hotels catering to murder tourism and visiting nurses murderers.


:eek: :yikes:

:furious: :mad: :apost: :ban:


😭


:pray: :pray: :amen: :amen: :thankyou: :thankyou:
 
Assisted suicide is still illegal in Minnesota
But there's a bill . . . 😭

Minnesota end-of-life bill reintroduced, faces stiff opposition​

The bill would allow adults with terminal illnesses to choose to end their lives with medication, but it faces stiff political opposition.

:pray: :pray: :amen: :amen: :thankyou: :thankyou:
