Issue
On June 8, 2026, Los Angeles County warned that without urgent state budget action, its public health system would have to consider reduced patient services, staff layoffs, and potential facility closures. The June 29 state budget delayed the UIS-PPS and Medi-Cal dental cuts to July 1, 2027.
The county still projects about a $700M drop in federal revenue by 2029.
