Gov. Jerry Brown's (D) recently released fiscal year 2015-2016 budget proposal lacks funding to provide health coverage to undocumented immigrants in the state, KQED's "State of Health" reports (Aliferis, "State of Health," KQED, 1/9).
Last week, Brown released his $113.3 billion FY 2015-2016 budget plan, which includes several health care proposals.

According to "State of Health," the budget proposal does not set aside money to expand health coverage to include undocumented immigrants in the state.
