California Braces for Temperature Swings and Medi-Cal Concerns

California is preparing for a rollercoaster of weather conditions as temperatures are set to spike dramatically this Monday, with potential highs reaching into the 90s in Ventura and LA counties. This significant warm-up, which begins as early as Sunday, is expected to be short-lived as a big temperature drop is forecasted later in the week, with the possibility of rain on the horizon. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and be prepared for sudden changes in weather.

In addition to the fluctuating temperatures, there's growing concern over potential cuts to Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program. These proposed changes could impact healthcare access for millions of Californians, prompting discussions on how to mitigate the effects on vulnerable populations. The state is currently evaluating various strategies to maintain essential services amidst budget constraints.
