"It would be so nice to sit in a city park and pull a book out and read it," said Carrie Wiltse, who presentedtheideatothecommis- sioners.

This donated library will be located at the Community Center. The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A preliminary study Tuesday estimated that the Republican plan to replace the na- tional health care overhaul would deliver a financial jolt to elderly, lower-income Californians, poten- tially leaving tens of thousands without coverage. The analysis by state insur- ance exchange Covered California comes a day after the Congressio- nal Budget Office estimated that 14 million people would lose insur- ance coverage in the first year un- der the GOP proposal. Overall, millions of Califor- nians would be in danger of being pushed out of the insurance mar- ket under the plan, Peter Lee, the executive director of Covered Cal- ifornia, told reporters. Under the Obama administration, about 5 million Californians gained cover- age through the Affordable Care Act and an expansion in Medicaid, which covers the needy, he said. About 90 percent of the 1.5 mil- lion new and renewing enrollees at Covered California receive sub- sidies. Potential deep cuts in tax cred- its under the Republican-backed American Health Care Act would mean "there are going to be fewer people covered," Lee said. The White House has disputed CBO's projections about how many Americans would lose cov- erage, whilehighlightingtheagen- cy's conclusions that the GOP bill would reduce the deficit by $337 billion over a decade. The GOP legislation would use tax credits to help consumers buy health cov- erage, expand health savings ac- counts, phase out an expansion of Medicaidandcapthatprogramfor the future, end some requirements for health plans under Obama's law, and scrap a number of taxes. Under current law, financial as- sistance is based on age, income, family size and where the con- sumer lives. Under the GOP plan, agewouldbecometheprimaryfac- tor. In California, its impact for those enrolled in subsidized cov- erage would vary widely. The report says a 62-year-old in Los Angeles earning $30,000 a year in a lower-tier plan would see an estimated net premium in- crease of about $70, to $275 per month, under the proposed law. But if that person lived in San Francisco, the premium would jump an estimated $460, to $668 per month, under the change.

According to UC Davis veter- inary hospital, where the eagle was transported and later suc- cumbed to its injuries, the pre- liminary diagnosis was the eagle had been shot. The Battle Creek Alliance & Defiance Canyon Raptor Rescue, a small non-profit raptor rescue and rehabilitation organization in Tehama, Shasta and other North- ern California counties, received the call Saturday that a bald ea- gle was on the road near Hawes Ranch & Farm Supply. A Red Bluff Police Officer col- lected the injured bird and con- tacted Fish and Wildlife, which referred the department to the rescue organization, to which it was turned over for treatment, said Police Chief Kyle Sanders. As of Tuesday afternoon there were no suspects identified in the case. The eagle had blood in its throat and was weak and unable to stand, said Marily Woodhouse, director of the Battle Creek Alli- ance & Defiance Canyon Raptor Rescue. An initial brief exam was performed by a wildlife veterinar- ian in Redding who found blood on the bird's thigh area as well. The veterinarian recom- mended the bird go to the veteri- nary hospital at UC Davis imme- diately, Woodhouse said. Veterinarians at UC Davis sus- pected the eagle was shot. It died later that night from its injuries. A postmortem radiograph had also shown that it had been shot in the lungs or abdominal air sac. Woodhouse said it is a federal and state crime to shoot eagles. Bald eagles are not on the endan- gered list anymore but are still protected.
