Health Care for
All Californians

Key Initiatives

The New
Uninsured

CHCF works to prevent coverage losses and to ensure that Californians who do lose insurance can still access the essential care they need, regardless of what happens at the federal and state level.

Health Care
Affordability

CHCF is working to make health care more affordable for all Californians. We are examining the reasons behind high costs, supporting policies that reduce cost barriers, and giving decision-makers what they need to drive lasting change.

The Future
of Medi-Cal

 CHCF is supporting the Future of Medi-Cal Commission to develop a bold, 10-year roadmap for a more effective and sustainable program, with concrete recommendations due in early 2027.

AI Powered Workforce

CHCF’s focus is on AI as a tool that supports and extends what health care workers do — not one that replaces them. We’re piloting the use of AI tools that reduce paperwork and help coordinate care, freeing up providers to focus on patients, especially in safety net settings.
