In this episode, Phil (@californiaunderground) breaks down how Gavin Newsom's virtue-signaling policies are now crashing headfirst into economic reality. Medi-Cal is broke. The state had to scramble for $6 billion to keep the program alive for one month. And now? They're doubling down — giving a six-month runway for even more signups before cutting off access in 2026.
Are California Democrats completely out of touch with working-class taxpayers? Is this the tipping point heading into 2026?
We also discuss:
