California nursing home reform package aims to end intolerable conditions
Assemblyman Leo McCarthy introduced an eight bill package in Sacramento to permit surprise inspections, impose fines, hike Medi-Cal reimbursements, outlaw kickbacks, seek a federal waiver for quality-based payments, fund in-home services, expand training, and boost public health nursing to help elderly Californians. The proposal faces a receptive Senate but uncertain success, with Gov. Reagan’s stance not yet clear.

State steps up alcohol abuse fight in California
Sacramento officials report 1.4 million adults in California are problem drinkers. Loran Archer cites 50 percent of traffic fatalities tied to drinking drivers and a 1.6 billion annual cost to industry and government. Budget consolidation targets 7.3 million for 1973-74, with 675 prior drunken driving convictions dismissed in 1971 versus 1,441 in 1973.
