Gavin Newsom’s broken promises on health care — coming to a tax hike near you

A proposed half-percent LA County sales tax would raise about $1 billion annually through 2031 to fund Medi-Cal health services.
The measure, named Restore Healthcare for Angelenos, targets Medi-Cal spending and health care coverage.
LA County would raise the countywide rate from 9.75% to 10.25%, with Palmdale and Lancaster at 11.75%.
Supporters say the measure addresses Medi-Cal costs amid federal reductions in funding.
Opponents argue higher taxes will burden residents while funds may flow to counties' health services and unions.
The measure is part of a broader trend of sales taxes to 'save' Medi-Cal in several California counties.
Medi-Cal spending remains a major portion of California's General Fund under Newsom's budget.
Critics view the plan as a political strategy to pressure voters amid health care spending concerns.
Campaign donors include St. John’s Community Health and SEIU Local 721 supporting the measure.
The measure’s spending would allocate most funds to health services and hospitals with remaining to corrections health.
