Proposed California Budget Cuts Threaten Adult Day Health Care

NOVATO, CA - FEBRUARY 10: Physical therapist Joan Collins (L) pushes Fred Lear in a wheelchair after he had a physical therapy session at the Lifelong Medical Marin Adult Day Health Care Center on February 10, 2011 in Novato, California. LifeLong Medical Care in Novato is a state-licensed center that provides adult day health care and activities to nearly 60 Marin County seniors and would be forced to close if California Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed budget cuts were to be approved by the state legislature in order to make up for California's $28 billion deficit. The deep cuts to Medi-Cal would jeopardize up to 300 adult day care centers throughout California and displace nearly 37,000 people that depend on the service. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
