Medicare-for-all, universal, single-payer: What exactly does Gavin Newsom want?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has ambitious goals for the state when it comes to health care. But what exactly is his vision for the state’s health care system? This week on the podcast, Bee reporter Sophia Bollag explains.

Later in the show, Assemblyman Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, discusses an audit request to examine the state’s handling of the Motor Voter program — which began registering Californians to vote in April 2018. His proposal comes in response to a Sacramento Bee investigation that found elections officials expressed concerns to Secretary of State Alex Padilla about the program’s launch.

Finally, this week's Buzz of the Week comes from Assemblyman Mike Gipson, who shared a personal story this week while pushing for stricter gun regulations.
