Newsom has proposed to cancel a plan to increase how much the state pays doctors to treat patients on Medicaid. But voters could have the final word as a measure that qualified for the November ballot would force the state to pay doctors more for treating Medicaid patients. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
