Supporters Say Adult Day Care Saves Lives and Dollars

Dozens of seniors, people with disabilities and advocates rallied in Sacramento to oppose cuts to a health care program aimed at keeping people out of nursing homes. 300 adult day health care programs provide services to more than 30,000 Californians, including health, nutrition and other services. The programs are funded by 135 million dollars in state money and an equal match from the federal government. Christopher Martinez reports from Sacramento.
