California Assembly Republicans are calling for a formal audit of the state's Medi-Cal program following a $6.2 billion budget shortfall.
The lawmakers have requested the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to investigate the cause of the financial gap. They argue that the expansion of Medi-Cal eligibility, including coverage for undocumented immigrants, may be contributing to the rising costs. Governor Gavin Newsom recently requested an emergency bailout to cover the shortfall.
The audit aims to uncover mismanagement or inefficiencies in the program’s spending.

Funny how Republicans only care about audits when it’s helping vulnerable people—maybe they should audit corporate tax breaks while they’re at it.

This is exactly what happens when you let big government run wild with taxpayer money—bloated programs, no accountability, and now they want a bailout for their own screw-up.
