CA: HC groups turn against Schwarzenegger budget plan
Los Angeles TimesPosted: June 26th, 2008 by Steve Trinward
“Major health groups that had backed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s effort to extend medical coverage to all Californians have turned against him, saying his proposed budget cuts would swell the number of uninsured people by 1 million by the end of his term. The groups plan rallies and media events over the next two months throughout the state, many highlighting interim cuts. The coalition includes Catholic Healthcare West, the state’s largest private hospital chain; the Service Employees International Union; the consumer advocacy groups AARP and Health Access California; and insurers Kaiser Permanente and Health Net. Those groups last year pressed lawmakers to approve a $15-billion insurance expansion plan favored by the governor, but it died in a state Senate committee in January.” (06/26/08)
