Assembly unit approves landmark health measure
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers move toward universal health coverage for catastrophic illness. The bill would require workers employed over 20 hours weekly to contribute $1 monthly, matched by employers, aiming to raise about $18 million yearly to cover workers and families. Approval came on a split vote, with opposition from medical and manufacturing groups. Aimed at 7 to 8 million workers, eligibility requires 70 hospital days or $7,000 in personal medical costs.
