Medi Cal Nears Collapse Triggers Emergency Budget Action
California’s $2.9 billion Medi Cal program for the needy nearly ran out of funds forcing a halt on $19 million in hospital payments. Officials said the fund could end the fiscal year with a roughly $50 million deficit without an emergency $56 million appropriation. Hospitals, physicians, and nursing homes faced delayed reimbursements while lawmakers moved to pass the emergency measure.

Senate Appropriations Votes To Fund Abortions
The Senate Appropriations Committee advanced a plan to allow federal funds for abortions when the mother's life is at risk and in certain cases such as rape or incest or ectopic pregnancy. The 16 to 8 vote attached the provision to a $607 billion Labor HEW bill, while a prior move to remove all abortion references failed 13 to 11. The outcome contrasts with a House ban and follows a Supreme Court ruling on state financing of elective abortions.
