HEALTHY FAMILIES CUT. California lawmakers and Governor Jerry Brown balanced the budget, in part by making severe cuts to childcare subsidies and healthcare for low-to-middle-income families. The legislators say most of the children affected by the healthcare cuts will be folded into MediCal, the health program for the poor, with the new expansion under the Affordable Care Act. How do Latinos fare under the new budget?
