Demonstrators pressure Newsom on single-payer healthcare system at state party's convention

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 02:43:41 GMT

(KTXL) — A group of demonstrators in favor of Medicare for all Californians pressed Governor Gavin Newsom on a campaign promise as he spoke briefly at the California Democratic Convention Saturday.After an introduction from his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Gov. Newsom took the stage on the second full day of his party's state convention in Los Angeles for a roughly five-minute speech during which he struck out at Republican leaders in red states.However, as the initial applause quieted, some in the crowd held up banners saying "Love it! Improve it! Medicare for all!" and chanted continuously throughout the governor's speech.During his initial campaign for governor, Newsom voiced support for a single-payer healthcare system but has since backed more incremental change, including last year's expansion of the state's Medi-Cal plan to residents over 50 regardless of immigration status.
