CalCare is currently a POLICY FRAMEWORK bill. The Democratic Party supermajority is going to lie to the public and attempt to kill it based upon claiming it to be a burden on the State Budget again.
CalCare is a COST-SAVINGS proposal with bipartisan support.

Could Gavin Newsom Be Worse Than You Think?
Newsom has drawn widespread praise for waging an aggressive war of words against President Trump. But few people outside of California know much about the governor’s actual record.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.

Just a reminder that ICE claimed Marimar Martinez brandished a weapon too.
Then they shot her five times.
She survived, and body cam footage showed they lied.
They’re lying about Alex Pretti too.
He was witnessing. He was trying to help a woman.
They killed him for it.
