The Legislature finds that:
(a) Unemployment in California is a matter of statewide concern requiring concerted public and private action to develop employment opportunities for the disadvantaged, youth, and unemployed persons.
(b) It is necessary to direct additional capital, general management assistance, business education, and other resources to encourage the development of small business opportunities, particularly for minority, women, and disabled persons, to alleviate unemployment.
(c) Many traditional and safety net health care providers of Medi-Cal services are in need of financial assistance to ensure their continued participation in Medi-Cal managed care networks and to preserve geographic access to quality care for individuals in underserved communities.
