On Monday, the Governor and legislative leaders announced an agreement on a state budget plan that would avoid the deep cuts to health and human service programs the Governor had proposed in May. Legislators rejected the Governor’s proposed cuts to safety-net programs, stating the demand for these services is greater now than ever. Notably, the budget agreement rejects an earlier proposal to cut certain Medi-Cal managed care payments that would have directly impacted hospitals, a cut CHA opposed (see CHA's media statement issued yesterday).
