加州将为新生儿提供免费尿布，该计划因合作伙伴选择和成本问题面临审查
Read, Watch or Listen
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the state will provide 400 free diapers to every newborn at about 65 to 75 participating hospitals through the 'Golden State Start' program, partnering with Los Angeles nonprofit Baby2Baby to manufacture and distribute the supplies. The rollout follows a $7.4 million allocation in last year’s budget and a roughly $12–12.5 million proposal for the following year. The program will serve hospitals that account for roughly a quarter of state births and is slated to expand statewide; this week critics questioned the selection of Baby2Baby after reporting tied a Baby2Baby executive to an organization co-founded by Siebel Newsom, and opponents raised procurement and per-unit cost concerns, prompting calls for greater transparency as implementation proceeds.
