(CNSNews.com) – Beginning Thursday, a controversial law takes effect in California, which allows terminally ill patients to legally end their life with medical assistance.
The "End of Life Option Act" was signed into law last fall by Gov. Jerry Brown.
STATE HOUSE — Gov. Charlie Baker's administration will release a comprehensive Medicaid reform proposal next week in the hopes of renegotiating a federal waiver worth billions of dollars with the Obama administration by Labor Day, before presidential politics further complicate state and federal talks.
The detailed waiver proposal will be posted for public comment on Wednesday with the intent of formally filing the plan with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in July, state Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders told the News Service.
