In his veto message, Newsom cites concern about creating a costly precedent by adding benefits to the state’s Affordable Care Act insurance exchange, known as Covered California. A legislative analysis estimates the added cost at about $11 million.
In 2019 a similar bill passed unanimously and was sent to Newsom. At the time, […] Newsom asked [the bill author] to rescind the bill with a promise to create a budget fix. That “fix” came in the form of the Hearing Aid Coverage for Children Program. The program, which received $16 million its first year, distributed hearing aids to 39 children
“$11 million actually going to children is completely unacceptable, but $16 million going through my sketchy slush fund is A-OK”
Knew motherfucker was corrupt. 39 kids only out of 16 million. Where rest go? She be on the front page of every paper and news. He should be hounded day and night for answers.

So, each hearing aid cost $410,000.00 under his scheme?
Um. Where the fuck is the rest of the public’s money? Should Gavin Newsom be in prison right now?
Maybe each kid got 2000 hearing aids
