Perhaps the authors of the bill are unaware that the U in UBI means Universal.
If your unemployment benefits are less that UBI, you should get the difference in UBI, similarly excluding Medicaid recipients seems well, plain stupid.

I'm not entirely sure why, though.
> Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program.
Because the ACA basically allows states to opt-out of providing medicaid, Medicaid has separate agencies for every state.
So I could understand if they want to try to replace existing welfare programs with UBI and then ratchet up the UBI amount until its better than the old programs (and more flexible).
But as-is, yeah, this doesnt help some of the ppl who need it most
