Gavin Newsom tried "free" healthcare for illegal immigrants. Here's how it turned out.

2022. Newsom announces California will be offering free healthcare for undocumented immigrants. He claims it's the moral thing to do and that it will cost about $2.2 billion a year.

2025. With California facing a $12 billion deficit, Newsom freezes the program for new entries and says that those currently enrolled will have to pay a monthly premium. The cost of the program had ballooned to over $11 billion a year.
