  Currently, undocumented individuals under 26 are eligible for Medicaid. While both Democratic lawmakers and Newsom have called for expanding eligibility to undocumented seniors (a large number of which lack coverage and rely on safety net providers), Newsom was initially more conservative, calling for an expansion to individuals 60 and older. The legislature has also consistently called for removing the asset test for Medi-Cal-eligible seniors, which removes an otherwise eligible senior’s Medi-Cal coverage if they have $2,000 or more in savings. According to California Health Advocates, the test disproportionately impacts people of color because they’re more likely to have cash savings instead of exempt assets, such as property.
