BACKGROUND: Under current law, counties contribute funds to match Federal disproportionate share funding which is then returned to various public and private hospitals which qualify as disproportionate share hospitals because of the percentage of low-income, indigent and Medi-Cal patients they serve. However, the State takes $239.5 million of the funds which are contributed by public hospitals to assist the State in balancing its budget. This results in a direct reduction in available funds to county, private and university hospitals; $4.4 million in the case of Contra Costa County. With the State's budget improving, it does not appear necessary or appropriate for counties to continue this subsidy to the State. Assemblywoman Barbara Friedman has introduced AB 1184 which would reduce this subsidy to $1 million to be used for administration of the disproportionate share program, thereby returning the balance of the funds to those hospitals which should be receiving the funds.
