Incoming Governor Gavin Newsom’s first hires are pointing to him having major health care plans. Incoming chief of staff Ann O’Leary had a big hand in developing the Children’s Health Insurance Program for President Bill Clinton’s administration. Meanwhile, Ana Matosantos, his cabinet secretary, led negotiations to expand health insurance access under former Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar. Newsom campaigned on expanding health care access, including bringing government-funded universal health care to California, which would cost more than double the state budget and would need federal approval.
