CAN HEALTH CARE FOR THE POOR AS IT NOW exists be saved in Los Angeles County?The answer looks like “no.” Even the Department of Health Services’ (DHS) usual strong supporters — Supervisor Gloria Molina, for instance — seem resigned to an “inevitable” downsizing that will make for longer lines at fewer facilities. Or as the Times quoted her, speaking of her own constituents: “They’re just going to have to drive farther, wait longer.”This also means that more poor people will stay sick longer and that fewer will seek health care before their conditions are extremely serious. In the long run, that means that more people will die. No one knows yet how many.
