  7. A public health compromise for California

    The Legislature is poised to offer health insurance to millions of additional low-income Californians, with the federal government covering much of the cost. The expansion would be a boon to counties, which collectively spend billions of dollars caring for the indigent uninsured. One sticking point, though, is what to do with the more than $4 billion in sales taxes and vehicle license fees the state has been sending back to counties every year to help pay for public health programs &mdash; and that the Brown administration wants to reclaim. Last week a group of nonprofits offered a sensible compromise, <a>proposing</a> that counties keep the funds if they spend them on a more efficient way to deliver care to the needy.

  12. The fights Obama picks over Medicare

    The <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Overview">budget</a> that President Obama released Wednesday doesn't include the sort of headline-grabbing initiatives that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) included in his proposal for fiscal 2014, such as a dramatic overhaul of the tax code and a transformation of Medicaid into block grants. But it offers a few ideas on Medicare that, while not as cage-rattling as Ryan's plan, would still bring important changes to the program. Make that, important but unpopular changes.
