ElderLawCalifornia.com Announces Massive State Budget Cuts Do Not Affect Medi-Cal Benefits for Long-Term Care

LOS ANGELES, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled plans last Friday to plug California's budget deficit by slashing billions of dollars worth of funding for services designed to help the state's poor.

Schwarzenegger's budget proposals would see spending cuts of 12.4 billion dollars including the elimination of California's welfare-to-work program and virtually all child care for low income families. However, thousands of California's elderly currently in long-term care facilities across the State will not be affected.
