A new study says more than a quarter of the people who live in Los Angeles County rely on Medicaid, and that cuts to the program would have a significant impact on people and healthcare providers.

The study by the L.A.-based Economic Roundtable, a nonprofit research group, examined the effects of proposed cuts to Medicaid, which is known as Medi-Cal in California. The budget before Congress now would eliminate 12% of federal funding for the program.
