Yes. -CIPC BUDGET UPDATE- June 27, 2013 BREAKING: GOV. BROWN SIGNS 2013-2014 BUDGET AND MEDI-CAL EXPANSION BILLS Historic Expansion of Medicaid; State-Funded Medi-Cal Preserved for Lawfully Present Immigrants; Expansion of Health Access for New Categories of Lawfully Present Immigrants. Governor Brown just signed the $96.3 billion 2013-2014 budget bill, and the historic Medicaid expansion bills ABx1 1 (Perez) and SBx1 1 (Steinberg/Hernandez), which will make health coverage available to over one million Californians. The state budget and the Medicaid expansion bills ensure that the state-funded Medi-Cal program for newly qualified immigrants* will be maintained and preserved as we implement the Affordable Care Act. The preservation of state-funded Medi-Cal is a victory for lawfully present immigrants, who would have been prevented from enrolling into Medi-Cal in the future.
