Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan that would likely also apply to the undocumented would need approval from the California Legislature, feds and President Biden.

There was his call for reviving much of the state mental health program and infrastructure that was dismantled for financial reasons in the 1960s and ’70s by Govs. Ronald Reagan and Jerry Brown.

Newsom says he’s discussed this with President Biden, who would have to approve it for this to happen. He wants to classify homelessness as a cause of illness and treat it with preventive care, much as most preventive care is covered for pregnant women. There are doubts even among liberal Democrats about whether this goes too far. After all, Medi-Cal already covers almost all of California’s poor, including every person older than 50 in the state who qualifies financially and some who are younger if they’re pregnant or have certain other medical conditions.
