Committee backs resolution opposing state proposal to cut Medi‑Cal funding for adult day health care
Summary
The Budget and Finance Committee voted to send a resolution forward opposing a state proposal to eliminate Medi‑Cal funding for adult day health care centers; the motion passed on a roll call with a recorded majority in favor and the chair recorded as a no vote.
The committee considered a resolution introduced by Supervisor Kim opposing a proposed state elimination of Medi‑Cal funding for adult day health care (ADHC) centers. Supervisors discussed the resolution briefly, accepted additional cosponsors and moved it forward.
Roll call recorded a majority in favor and the motion passed. Chair Carmen Chu indicated she would dissent consistent with prior votes asking departments to identify cuts and efficiencies, but the resolution was approved and will be transmitted as the committee’s formal opposition to the state proposal.
The committee asked staff to carry the resolution forward and noted community concerns about the consequences to seniors and dependent adults if Medi‑Cal funding for ADHC were removed.
