This fee provides a net benefit to the hospital industry, public and private, by gaining more from Medi-Cal federal support ($3.5 billion 2015-16) than the fee costs.\u00a0 This measure will require a 2\/3 vote of the Legislature to create a fee cancellation or reduction. Medi-Cal expansion under the Affordable Care Act has generated enormous benefits to the homeless and families and children in poverty.
