As with any complex proposal, there are strong opinions about how Proposition 31 will or won’t work, and those opinions include health and human services policy issues. Questions have been raised about how Prop. 31 might affect state health care programs, particularly senior health programs. Proposition 31 would establish two-year state budgets, create new rules for offsetting new expenditures and give the governor new power to make budget cuts in fiscal emergencies. The initiative would also give counties new authority to alter the way they deal with state statutes or regulations on state-funded programs according to a report at www.californiahealthline.com
