California lawmakers are advancing a bill aimed at identifying large companies with employees enrolled in the state’s Medi-Cal programme as a new Medicaid work requirement deadline approaches. The proposal, led by Democratic state Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, is designed to enhance transparency regarding employer healthcare contributions.

Senator Mitch McConnell provided an update on his health, confirming he was briefly unconscious following a fall last month and is recovering from a mild case of pneumonia. He remains hospitalised for physical therapy, awaiting clearance to return to the Senate. McConnell intends to continue his work despite his health challenges.
