Gov. Newsom proposes 'asset test' for low-income and disabled Medi-Cal applicants. What does that mean?

Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing reinstating an 'asset test' that would narrow eligibility for low-income seniors and adults with disabilities

Disability and health advocates are criticizing the governor’s proposal, with the nonprofit group Disability Rights California calling it a willingness to “sacrifice the health and human services of California’s people, particularly the disabled, poor and elderly populations.” “Disability Rights California and many others fought tirelessly for years to get this asset limit eliminated, finding it to be a deeply inhumane and punitive approach, the change just went fully into effect in 2024, and it is truly disturbing to see the Governor reverse course so quickly,” the nonprofit said in a statement. Reinstating the “asset test” would result in “people losing coverage and force older adults and people with disabilities into extreme poverty,” said the nonprofit organization California Health Advocates.

The organization says the individuals who would lose coverage as a result of the proposed policy change could ultimately become “Medi-Cal eligible again once they have exhausted any resources they have.” “As a result of losing access to care, the costs to the state when they regain eligibility will likely increase because their condition will have worsened and they may no longer be able to live at home, thus requiring full time nursing facility care,” the organization said in a statement.

God I fucking hate newsom
