While the Legislative Analyst forecasts a budget shortfall, the upcoming January and May forecasts will also inform the Senate’s work in crafting a responsible state budget that protects core programs, including education, childcare, safety net, health care, and public safety.
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Assembly Committee on Budget Chair Jesse Gabriel: Trump’s cuts and tariffs are squeezing California’s budget even harder. And the cautious LAO forecast is a reminder: Today’s revenue surge won’t last. We must invest limited dollars on sustainable, vital essentials — health care, food aid, housing, education. When Republican policies raise prices and fall short, Democrats will keep fighting for real affordability and lasting prosperity.
Assembly Republican Leader Heath Flora: While the LAO lays out the damage in plain terms, Governor Gavin Newsom and legislative Democrats are pretending none of it is their fault. They blamed the federal government in a press release meant to distract from decades of one-party budget control. The problem is their spending. Period.
The facts aren’t up for debate:
Newsom inherited a budget that had already recovered from the Great Recession, a booming stock market, and record tax revenue.
He spent through a pandemic surplus and ignored warnings during years of economic growth.
Now California’s back in recession-level deficits. This time, they’re self-inflicted.
California State Association of Counties (CSAC): The LAO’s report is grim, and county budget forecasts are even grimmer. The only way through this crisis is for the state to partner with counties to preserve California’s safety net: Medi-Cal, CalFresh, indigent care and homelessness funding. Otherwise, the pain will hit the millions of Californians whose very survival depends on hospitals, shelters and schools.
LAO 2026-27 Medi-Cal Fiscal Outlook
The Medi-Cal program, currently the state's largest with a nearly $200 billion budget (40% of all spending, over half from federal funds), is facing significant fiscal and policy shifts. The LAO's Medi-Cal fiscal outlook for the coming years is shaped by baseline trends, state budget solutions, and the impacts of H.R. 1.
Projected Medi-Cal spending is expected to reach $51.6 billion by 2029-30, a growth rate slower than the overall state budget. The largest driver of this growth is an estimated $12.8 billion increase in baseline spending due to higher utilization and increased provider rates, with rising senior caseloads also contributing. The state's General Fund share for Medi-Cal in 2025-26 will hit an all-time high of $44.9 billion, representing 20% of the total General Fund, up from a historical 15% due to these rising costs.
While state budget solutions enacted in 2025-26 are anticipated to offset a large part of the baseline increase (an estimated $9.3 billion), federal policy changes under H.R. 1 introduce a net cost increase of $3.2 billion. This federal effect is the result of a $5.1 billion increase from financing changes, partially mitigated by an estimated $1.9 billion saving from a projected 1.6 million reduction in caseload.
The combined impact of state and federal policy shifts means Medi-Cal spending will likely continue to rise. However, the exact timing and magnitude of this increase, which could vary by billions, remains highly uncertain. Given the state's broader fiscal challenges, the legislature will need to continue prioritizing Medi-Cal discussions.
LAO Fiscal Outlook
- General Fund spending on Medi-Cal is projected to be lower in the current year (2025-26) at $43.9 billion, a $1 billion decrease from the enacted budget.
- Baseline trends show spending initially falls in 2025-26 due to a reduction in the family and children caseload (nearly 500,000 people).
- Spending will increase steadily in subsequent years, with an average annual growth rate of 3.5%. Medi-Cal will remain around 19% of the total General Fund budget.
- After 2025-26, spending rises significantly ($11.1 billion) primarily due to annual increases in provider rates and utilization. Increased senior caseload, a higher-cost population, also contributes to net General Fund costs ($3.1 billion). An additional cost ($1.3 billion) is a General Fund backfill required by Proposition 35 (2024), which dedicates more Managed Care Organization (MCO) Tax revenue to provider rates instead of existing program costs.
- The outlook projects fewer enrollees (falling from nearly 15 million to 12 million) but higher monthly per-enrollee costs (rising from $298 to $355, a 19% increase). H.R. 1 is expected to reduce caseload, but costs continue to climb.
2025 Budget Solutions. To address the structural deficit and curb Medi-Cal spending, the legislature adopted policy changes in the 2025 budget, including tighter eligibility and benefit rules, most effective in 2026 and beyond.
The state's budget solutions yield $9.3 billion in net multiyear savings, primarily ($10.6 billion) from changes affecting adults with unsatisfactory immigration status (UIS). The state is freezing comprehensive coverage eligibility (for undocumented adults) and implementing monthly premiums (for all UIS adults ages 19-59). These measures are projected to reduce UIS comprehensive coverage enrollment by 1.5 million (64%) by 2029-30, with those individuals retaining limited Medi-Cal coverage. Other UIS-related savings include clinic payment changes and ending adult dental coverage.
Remaining ongoing savings ($2.7 billion) come from reducing pharmacy spending (ending certain weight loss drug coverage, negotiating higher rebates, and new utilization management) and reinstating an asset limit for seniors and persons with disabilities, estimated to reduce this caseload by 90,000 (4%) by 2029-30.
Ongoing savings are partially offset by the end of limited-term solutions ($4 billion), mainly due to a one-time cash loan to Medi-Cal in 2025-26 that will require General Fund coverage moving forward, and the phase-down of utilizing Proposition 35 funds to offset General Fund spending.
Overall, the ongoing solutions lower per-enrollee costs by $83 (21%) per month by 2029-30 relative to the baseline. Most solutions save money by reducing per-enrollee costs through utilization management, benefit cuts, and provider rate reductions, rather than directly reducing overall caseload (except for the asset limit). A $1 monthly per enrollee cost reduction saves an estimated $150 million to $180 million for the General Fund annually.
H.R. 1 Impacts. The state's General Fund will need to backfill $5 billion in Medi-Cal spending due to H.R. 1 federal policy changes.
The largest factor ($3.3 billion) is a substantial reduction in the state's MCO tax, expected to take effect in January 2027. This tax currently disproportionately taxes Medi-Cal enrollment ($274/month) compared to commercial enrollment ($2/month), a structure intended to maximize federal funds. H.R. 1 prohibits this disproportionality. Since Proposition 35 (2024) limits increasing the commercial rate, the state must significantly reduce the Medi-Cal rate, causing tax revenue to plummet and requiring a large General Fund backfill.
The second factor is a reduction in the Hospital Quality Assurance fee ($600 million backfill), also anticipated around January 2027. H.R. 1's proportionality rule, a new, lower revenue limit (3.5% by fiscal year 2032), and a lower payment limit (Medicare rates) will all pressure the state to reduce this fee.
Third, reduced federal cost sharing for immigrant emergency services decreases the federal match from 90% to 50% for certain undocumented adults, requiring a $1.2 billion General Fund backfill.
Finally, H.R. 1 introduces new eligibility requirements for childless adults - an 80-hour monthly community engagement mandate and more frequent 6-month eligibility determinations, which are expected to cut the childless adult caseload by 1.6 million (40%) by 2029-30. However, because this group has a high 90% federal match, the resulting state savings are limited ($1.9 billion), with most savings accruing to the federal government.
Risks and Uncertainties. Budget solutions will likely slow, but not fully offset, Medi-Cal spending growth. Without these solutions, Medi-Cal's share of state spending would rise to 23% by 2029-30, four percentage points higher than projected with the solutions. However, baseline cost increases and new costs from H.R. 1 will probably exceed the savings from state budget solutions. The ultimate size and timing of increased net spending are highly uncertain, potentially making General Fund spending billions of dollars higher or lower than projected.
The implementation timeline for H.R. 1's federal policy changes remains unclear, contingent on forthcoming federal guidance and, for provider tax changes, ranging from July 2025 to as late as 2028. Recent guidance suggests July 2026 for the MCO tax and July 2028 for other provider taxes. California might also get up to a two-year extension (until January 2029) to implement the new community engagement requirement, shifting associated disenrollment savings.
The size of the effects from state and federal policy changes also remains unpredictable. Savings are particularly sensitive to immigrant-related solutions, where small changes to assumptions yield billions in cost differences. Key unknowns include:
-
Immigrant Caseloads and Costs: Data for people with UIS are limited, making cost projections imprecise.
-
Short- and Long-Term Effect of Freeze: The January 2026 freeze on comprehensive coverage for undocumented adults could temporarily increase pre-freeze enrollment or depend on long-term exits.
-
Effect of Premiums: The impact of new premiums on the undocumented population is unknown; they may be more sensitive to costs or incentivized to pay to avoid being locked out.
- Implementation of New Clinic Finance Change: This large solution's savings are at risk due to implementation hurdles, like requiring clinics to track immigration status.
-
Administrative Requirements of Reinstated Asset Limit: Uncertainty exists around disenrollments caused by the asset limit itself and the administrative burden of demonstrating compliance.
-
Pharmacy-Related Savings: These rely on the unpredictable prescription drug market and the state's success in negotiating rebates.
-
Community Engagement Requirement: Since Medi-Cal is new to requiring employment, the disenrollment effect from lack of employment and administrative burden is uncertain and depends on implementation.
-
Spending on Emergency Care for Immigrants: Volatile spending trends for emergency care for undocumented immigrants make the effect of H.R. 1's decreased federal match uncertain.
-
Flexibilities: State choices to exempt groups from new eligibility requirements could mitigate disenrollments and associated savings.
-
Other H.R. 1 Changes: Though four core changes are assumed to be most significant, the full fiscal effects of H.R. 1's dozens of policy changes will take years to understand. Other key changes to track include: a change in the UIS definition (impacting cost-sharing for some immigrant groups), a new $1 million home equity limit for long-term care, a prohibition on payments to certain family planning providers (e.g., Planned Parenthood), a new cost-sharing requirement for childless adults above the federal poverty level, a moratorium on new rules aimed at streamlining eligibility, and the elimination of waivers for recoupments on high Medicaid payment error rates.
The spending reductions in the 2025-26 Budget Act are projected to moderate the growth of Medi-Cal spending, which would otherwise have increased significantly. However, the exact amount of these savings is uncertain and could differ from the LAO’s projections. This uncertainty is compounded by the fact that the complete fiscal and programmatic impact of H.R. 1 is still becoming clear as the federal government issues new guidance. Given these variables and the state's ongoing negative fiscal trend, the legislature will likely need to continue evaluating its Medi-Cal priorities in the near future.
UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative Report: Health and Homelessness
UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative released a new report on health and homelessness, “Toward Thriving: Understanding Health and Homelessness,” based on its California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH). The report examines the connection between poor health and homelessness, the barriers people face in accessing care, and provides recommendations for policymakers, healthcare leaders, public health agencies, Continuum of Care leaders, and social service systems.
Summary of Findings. Not surprisingly, the study confirms that individuals with extensive life-course adversity, limited access to healthcare, and prolonged exposure to poverty and discrimination face the highest risk of poor physical health. Many enter homelessness already in poor health; and homelessness worsens health outcomes. The study found that:
-
Poor health is pervasive: Nearly half (45%) of adults experiencing homelessness rated their health as poor or fair - four times higher than the general population.
-
Chronic disease is common: 60% reported at least one chronic condition, and more than one in four (28%) reported two or more. Hypertension (30%), chronic lung disease (25%), and heart disease or stroke (15%) were most frequent.
-
Tobacco use is common and contributes to poor health: 70% of adults experiencing homelessness smoke - six times the national rate.
-
Physical limitations are widespread: 34% of adults reported difficulty with at least one daily activity (ADL) such as bathing, dressing, or eating. Among adults aged 50 and older, nearly half (43%) had at least one ADL limitation.
-
Access to care is limited despite insurance: While most (83%) had health insurance, primarily Medi-Cal, only 52% had a regular place for care and 39% had a primary care provider.
-
High rates of acute care use: 37% visited an emergency department in the past six months without being admitted, and 21% were hospitalized.
The findings underscore how those facing homelessness face a disproportionate burden of poor health while confronting high barriers to care. Based on the findings of the report, researchers provided the following recommendations for the healthcare system (including Medicaid) and the homelessness and housing response system:
- Expand and stabilize Medicaid coverage for people experiencing homelessness.
- Scale street medicine and shelter-based care models that deliver primary and urgent care in non-traditional settings.
- Enhance medical respite programs for people discharged from hospitals without stable housing.
- Create accessible, supportive housing designed for people with disabilities and chronic disease.
- Invest in culturally and linguistically responsive care to build trust and equity across diverse communities.
Background. The California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH) is the largest representative study of homelessness in the United States since the mid-1990s. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative (UCSF BHHI) recruited a representative sample of adults experiencing homelessness; all respondents (3,200) completed an administered questionnaire. A subset participated in in-depth interviews. UCSF BHHI has released a series of reports, including a comprehensive report; focused reports on intimate partner violence, racial equity (with separate analyses of Black people and Latine people experiencing homelessness), older adults, and behavioral health. BHHI additionally released several shorter topic briefs, including one on pregnancy and unsheltered homelessness. This report looks at the intersection of health and homelessness.
Uncertain Future for Funding. In its conclusion, the report acknowledges that there are many efforts underway to improve healthcare for those experiencing homelessness. This includes the work of Federally Qualified Health Centers and other safety net care systems, street medicine teams, and recuperative care programs. The expansion of Medi-Cal in California to fund these efforts is promising, but changes in federal policy are expected to significantly reduce funding resources.
BHHI plans to host a webinar discussing the report’s findings on December 4.

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH ACTIVITY
Congress Makes Further Movement Towards Finalizing Appropriations Process
The Senate moved towards finalizing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 appropriations process this week, releasing their versions of the Energy and Water and Financial Services and General Government bills. Congress has until January 30 to pass the nine remaining full-year appropriations bills and avert another, albeit partial, government shutdown.
Senators are also reported to be planning to set up a larger minibus of five appropriations bills, containing the majority of discretionary spending, though House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole has expressed skepticism at the House’s willingness to pass a minibus of that size.
Congress is also considering a full year CR for any bills they are unable to negotiate before the January 30 deadline, though appropriators have made it clear that is a last resort. The first two weeks of session in December will likely be consumed by attempts to pass a health care package before December 12, as Senate Democrats were promised a vote on health insurance premiums in order to end the government shutdown. That leaves one week of session in December and three in January before the deadline. It generally takes committee staff six weeks from finalized negotiations on topline numbers to compose floor-ready bills. With the holidays, it may take additional leaving the House and Senate on a tight timeline to resolve the differences between their funding bills.
House Committee on Natural Resources Advances Permitting Reform Bill
On November 20, The House Committee on Natural Resources held a markup of a number of bills, including HR 4776, the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development Act or the SPEED Act. The SPEED Act was ordered reported out of committee on a bipartisan basis. The bill would represent the most significant reforms to federal environmental permitting in years and would notably create equivalency between California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) reviews and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews.
This means a completed CEQA review, since California has higher environmental standards, could satisfy the requirements of NEPA for federally funded projects. This would save developers and local jurisdictions significant time and resources in building housing and other infrastructure using federal dollars.
Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman has expressed optimism the bill will see a floor vote by the end of the year, though it will likely be pushed into 2026.
Congress Readies Health Care Package for December Vote
In the compromise with eight Senate Democrats to reopen the government, Senate Majority Leader John Thune committed to holding a vote on the central issue in the shutdown, a series of Affordable Care Act health insurance premium subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.
As premiums could drastically increase, Republicans in Congress have felt pressure to propose an alternative to the subsidies. Senator Bill Cassidy has proposed shifting the subsidy amount into individual Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and subsidy recipients into lower-tier higher-deductible health plans, while Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick has floated a compromise extension of the subsidies with new income limitations and additional flexibilities for HSAs. Senator Rick Scott released his own plan, creating a modified form of HSAs called Trump Health Freedom Accounts that could be used to pay both premiums and deductibles and introduces a state waiver program.
The competition between these plans, along with the President’s short-lived proposal to extend the health insurance premium subsidies with additional limitations on eligibility will likely consume the legislature for the first two weeks of December, as the self-imposed deadline for action is December 12.
EXECUTIVE BRANCH ACTIVITY
EPA Announces New Definition of Waters of the United States
On November 21, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced a new proposed definition of Waters of the United States (WOTUS). The definition of WOTUS determines which waterways and ultimately projects are subject to the Clean Water Act (CWA).
The prosed definition revises and limits the definitions of relatively permanent, continuous surface connection, and tributary, establishes new standards for tributary connections to navigable waters, increases local jurisdiction authority, clarifies exclusions for certain ditches, prior converted cropland, and waste treatment systems, and addresses natural seasonal changes in water quantity in an area.
The revised definition is intended to bring EPA into compliance with the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Sackett v EPA. The proposal is open for public comment in the Federal Register through January 5, 2026.
DOT Announces Bus Grant Awards
On November 20, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced $2 billion in grant awards from the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program and the Low or No Emission Grant Program (Low/No).
The funding includes support for both rural and urban transit providers. Active FY 2025 funding for these programs totals about $1.5 billion, with an additional $518 million in FY 2026 funding available through advance appropriations.
The grants previously prioritized the replacement of diesel busses with zero-emission alternatives. Awards under this round included a number of hybrid bus programs and compressed natural gas (CNG). The funding was made available through the 2022 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which included the last Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act.
