Health care costs open $1.7 billion hole in Texas budget

Garrett reports on yesterday's budget hearings:
AUSTIN – Lawmakers have been thinking ahead to a massive shortfall, topping $10 billion, that's probably coming when they write the next budget in 2011. But state officials told them Monday that they'll have to fix a hole in the current budget, too.

Rising health care costs have dug a hole of about $1.7 billion, the officials said.
