Days before the beginning of the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the Governor unveiled a new set of "reforms" he isseeking as part of the budget.  Today, the Assembly Budget Committee released an analysis of these reforms - attached.  The analysis asserts that the Goveror is "shifting the budget negotiations away from the State's immediate cash crisis and budget deficit toward a discussion of various unrelated long-term policy changes that were unveiled only two weeks ago."  The document points out that only three of the sixteen proposals would achieve savings in fiscal year 2009-10 - the vast majority from the imposition of a hospital provider fee which would be used to draw down additional federal Medi-Cal funds.
