Gov. Gavin Newsom will travel California this week, trying to sell his unpopular plan to levy hefty fines on those who do not have medical coverage.
While those proposals have received the most attention, he said shoring up a health insurance market “vandalized” by the Trump administration is a top priority.
Newsom’s revised budget estimated that tax filers in the state would pay $317 million in fines for not carrying health insurance in 2020-21. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office estimated that roughly 3.5 million people in California do not have health insurance, with those who are uninsured more likely to be low-income.
Newsom said the mandate and subsides will help alleviate uncertainty in the health insurance market and stabilize premiums that increase when younger healthy people do not buy in.
