Editorial Urges Fast Approval of Bill for New Hospital Fee
The Legislature should approve Assembly member Dave Jones' (D-Sacramento) AB 1383, which would create a new hospital fee that the state would use to draw down additional federal funds for Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, an editorial states. Provisions of the stimulus package increase federal matching funds for Medicaid through 2010.
