The La Habra mother of 14 has reports up to $50,000 in assets in federal court filings. Suleman will file Chap- ter 7 bankruptcy, which means a court-appointed trustee would liquidate her assets to pay off creditors before she is discharged from most of her debts. Among others, Suleman says their petition argues that this is not the time to impose on restaurants already hurting from the economic downturn. Former Sen. John Bur- ton, who sponsored the orig- inal bill, says restaurant owners have had enough time to come up with new delicacies to serve cus- tomers. Dr. Oz urges state workers owes money to her father, the city's water department, DirecTV and Whittier Christian School, where at least some of her children are students.

Coalition spokesman Nathan Ballard — Dr. Mehmet Oz is rally- ing thousands of California state workers to get fit as a way to save money on health care costs. The host of ''The Dr. Oz to get fit SACRAMENTO (AP) Show'' joined state officials in Sacramento on Monday to launch a pilot workplace- wellness program. A study commissioned by the state controller's office found the state could save between $18 million and $54 million a year if a fraction of its gov- ernment workers are able to prevent chronic diseases. The study by the Urban Institute found that Califor- nia spent $1.6 billion on health care in 2008. About 22 percent, or $362 million, was spent on preventable conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. State Controller John Chiang told workers that staying healthy will help control skyrocketing med- ical costs.
