Gavin Newsom began his term as California's 40th governor Monday by proposing that the state provide health insurance premium subsidies for residents earning from 400 percent to 600 percent of the federal poverty level.
The Democrat also sent federal officials a letter asking the federal government to expand the Affordable Care Act Section 1332 rule waiver program, to give states more ability to “tailor their own solutions, and lay the groundwork for more comprehensive solutions, such as a single-payer system.”
