It is necessary that a transit district be established in Orange County in order to provide an interim solution to the transit problem of this area pending inclusion, if at all, of Orange County into the Southern California Rapid Transit District. The problem is unique in that presently there are several existing transportation facilities serving various parts of the area but independently operated, without interchange of transportation services, and without possibility of merger. The geographic location of the area requiring transportation services makes it necessary to develop a single transit system to protect the public interest.

It shall be the ultimate purpose of the Orange County Transit District to establish, when financing therefor becomes feasible, a permanent rapid transit system designed to be part of a unified Los Angeles-Orange County areawide regional system. When such permanent system is planned it shall incorporate physical characteristics necessary for full compatibility with the system of the Southern California Rapid Transit District, and unified management of the operations of such an areawide system shall be provided. Such unified management may be provided by management or operating contract with, or by annexation of the Orange County Transit District to, the Southern California Rapid Transit District or by any other lawful means; and shall take into full account the financial burdens already assumed by the citizens of the area comprising the Los Angeles Rapid Transit District to establish its system, which should be recognized in the operation of the unified system. The share of such financial burdens to be assumed by the Orange County Transit District, determined by its board by agreement with the board of the Southern California Rapid Transit District to be in the best mutual interest of the citizens of the two districts, may be made payable out of bond proceeds (subject to authorization of the bonds at an election), tax levies or any other available funds and may be made payable at such times and upon such rate of interest and other terms as shall be agreed between the boards of the two districts.

Section 124800
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a)  Rural hospitals serve as the “hub of health,” and through that role attract and retain in their communities physicians, nurses, and other primary care providers. Because of economies of scale compounded by reimbursement reforms, many rural hospitals will close before the end of this decade. This will result in the departure of primary care providers and the loss of emergency medical services both to residents and persons traveling through the area. The smallest and most remote facilities are at highest risk.

(b)  The rural hospital is often one of the largest employers in the community. The closure of such a hospital means the loss of a source of employment. This has an economic impact beyond the health sector. Further, economic development of a rural area is, in part, tied to the existence of a hospital. People, for example, tend not to retire to areas where there is not reasonable access to physician and hospital-based services.

(c)  Rural hospitals, especially the smaller facilities, lack access to the sophisticated expertise necessary to deal with current reimbursement regulations and the associated bureaucracy.

(d)  Most rural hospitals are unable to participate in programs that provide access to short- and long-term financing due to lender requirements for credit enhancement.

(e)  Because of economies of scale compounded by regulations under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations and other regulations, rural hospitals have high, fixed costs that, in the present reimbursement environment, cannot be offset by revenues generated from serving a relatively small population base. Further, in an economically depressed rural area, community contributions are not sufficient to offset deficits.

(f)  Rural hospitals are an important link in the Medi-Cal program, and without special consideration that takes into account their unique circumstances, rural hospitals will be unable to continue providing services to Medi-Cal patients. This is especially true for outpatient services that are reimbursed at less than 60 percent of costs.

(g)  While only a very small percentage of the Medi-Cal budget for inpatient and outpatient services is spent for services rendered by rural hospitals, their participation is essential to preserve the integrity of the entire Medi-Cal program.
