Lawmakers are in special session in Sacramento right now, and one of the things they're discussing is whether the state can find a way to bring Medi-Cal reimbursement rates for doctors back up.

California's rates are the second-lowest in the country, and 1 in 3 Californians is now covered by Medi-Cal.
