Medi-Cal Cuts

Audio currently not available for this program.

For a decade, California lawmakers looking to balance the budget have turned to Medi-Cal for cuts. This year is no different, last winter lawmakers authorized a 10 percent cut in the fees Medi-Cal pays to providers. The cuts took effect last month, and doctors are again threatening to drop patients or drop Medi-Cal altogether. Reporter: Ailsa Chang
