Funding of Trauma Centers

I want to compliment The Times for its clear, informative reporting and outstanding editorials on the inhuman reduction of support for health services that the governor of California has imposed on the people. Cutting health services for the poor and emergency services for everyone can only result in more serious sickness and disability, which will cost us all more in the long run. This policy is penny wise and pound foolish.
