To save more than $5 billion, the California governor wants to shut down new enrollment for adults who lack legal status and charge premiums. The Legislature has resisted such changes.

Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to charge monthly premiums for undocumented immigrants and stop adding new enrollees to the program as soon as January.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said his spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year will call for requiring all undocumented adults to pay $100 monthly premiums to receive coverage and for blocking all new adult applications to the program as of Jan.
