California Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing an "asset test" for seniors to prove eligibility for Medi-Cal healthcare benefits for low-income Californians in response to a budget shortfall. To qualify, people would have to possess less than $2,000 in assets to qualify.The governor's budget proposal, written by the California Department of Finance, said the reasons for the increased costs include "higher overall enrollment, pharmacy costs and higher managed care costs."In the last 10 years, he said, Medi-Cal costs have increased by $20.5 billion.NEWSOM PROPOSES FREEZE ON ALLOWING ADULT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO JOIN CALIFORNIA MEDICAID PROGRAMNewsom has also proposed freezing new enrollment for adults in the country illegally as a way to cut Medi-Cal costs."Some of the most significant contributing factors to this growth are the COVID-19 continuous coverage requirement and the implementation of major policy changes such as the full elimination of the asset test for older adults and the full-scope expansion to all income-eligible Californians, regardless of immigration status," the proposal said. .The assets included in the test would be salary, money in a bank account, cash on hand, a second car, home value and retirement funds. Applicants with more than $2,000 in assets would be ineligible for Medi-Cal.The 2025-26 budget proposal said Medi-Cal costs have increased starkly and continue to outpace revenues. The program cost $37.6 billion over the last year, and the cost is expected to increase by $10 billion over the next year without cuts.Along with low-income adults, many seniors and people with disabilities use Medi-Cal benefits that include in-home care services.For decades before 2024, the asset test was required for seniors to prove their eligibility for Medi-Cal, and Newsoms proposal would reinstate it.The proposal said that the asset test would save $94 million this fiscal year and $791 million by the 2028-29 fiscal year.LAWMAKERS IN DEEP BLUE STATE DEMAND AUDIT OVER SKYROCKETING HEALTHCARE COSTS: 'ALARMING NATURE'Disability Rights California, a nonprofit, said the proposal would do "tremendous harm" to Californians.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT HEALTHCARE COSTS IN BLUE STATE TRIGGERS INTENSE BUDGET DEBATE"While we understand the reality of budget shortfalls and that cuts will sometimes be necessary, the priorities and reality of this May revision are even worse than what we imagined," the group said in a statement.

Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implants are designed to help individuals with disabilities and the implants first user told Fox News on Friday about the revolutionary technology.Arizona native Noland Arbaugh, the first Neuralink brain implant patient, joined "The Will Cain Show" to discuss how the device has helped him regain control of his life."I'm just beyond grateful," Arbaugh told Fox News host Will Cain. "It's an incredible privilege to be a part of this."PARALYZED MAN WITH ALS IS THIRD TO RECEIVE NEURALINK IMPLANT, CAN TYPE WITH BRAIN"To have someone like Elon Musk one of the most powerful men in the world, so involved, so interested in affecting my life and people with disabilities right now I cant even put it into words," he continued.He also thanked the Neuralink employees for supporting him on his medical journey."They are the hardest workers that I've ever met in my life, and they have such a passion for helping people," he said.AI SYSTEM RESTORES SPEECH FOR PARALYZED PATIENTS USING OWN VOICEIn 2016, Arbaugh was involved in a swimming accident, leaving him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Facing the rest of his life with significantly reduced mobility, he remarked on how limited his life felt before receiving the Neuralink implant."I just wasn't really doing much," Arbaugh said. "I wasn't getting out of my house, I wasn't being able to communicate with the world.""After Neuralink, I feel like I have a purpose," he added.

"It syncs up, and that's how I control the computer."Arbaugh added that it took some time for him to learn how to successfully use the implant, but he is excited about the potential of the device.SPACEX'S STARSHIP FLIGHT 9 ENDS IN FAILURE AFTER BOOSTER LOSS: 'SUCCESS COMES FROM WHAT WE LEARN'CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"There is a learning curve, if you will," he said.

"I don't think I could ever thank them enough for all that they've done for me."

Torrents of predawn rain unleashed flooding that killed at least 111 people in a market town where northern Nigerian farmers sell their wares to traders from the south, officials said Friday, predicting the death toll would grow.The Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency did not immediately say how much rain fell after midnight Thursday in the town of Mokwa in the state of Niger, more than 180 miles west of Abuja, the capital of Africa's most populous nation.SOUTHEAST MET WITH DANGEROUS FLOODING WHILE NORTHEAST BRACES FOR SNOWSTORMSCommunities in northern Nigeria have been experiencing prolonged dry spells worsened by climate change and excessive rainfall that leads to severe flooding during the brief wet season.In videos and photos on social media, floodwaters covered neighborhoods and homes were submerged, with their roofs barely visible above the brown-colored waters. Waist-deep in water, residents tried to salvage what they could, or rescue others."We lost many lives, and the properties, our farm produce. Those that have their storage have lost it," Kazeem Muhammed, a Mokwa resident, said.Besides the 111 confirmed dead, "more bodies have just been brought and are yet to be counted," Niger state emergency agency spokesman IIbrahim Audu Husseini told The Associated Press by telephone Friday afternoon.Mokwa, nearly 380 kilometers (236 miles) west of Abuja, is a major meeting point where traders from the south buy beans, onions and other food from farmers in the north.Mokwa community leader Aliki Musa told the AP the villagers are not used to such flooding. "The water is like spiritual water which used to come but its seasonal," said Musa. "It can come now (and) it will reach another twenty years before coming again."The chairman of the Mokwa local government area, Jibril Muregi, told local news website Premium Times that construction of flood-control works was long overdue."This critical infrastructure is essential to mitigating future flood risks and protecting lives and property," he said.In September, torrential rains and a dam collapse in the northeastern city of Maiduguri caused severe flooding that left at least 30 people dead and displaced millions, worsening the humanitarian crisis caused by the Boko Haram insurgency.
