Over the last ten years, California has made tremendous strides in covering almost all Californians. However, federal and state policy changes in 2024 are expected to result in many Californians losing their health care coverage. Those who rely on Medi-Cal are most at risk.
CHCF’s work focuses on tracking coverage trends across the California population, supporting policies and programs that improve Medi-Cal enrollment, and ensuring that coverage translates to meaningful access, particularly for communities facing the greatest barriers to care. CHCF will help policymakers and other stakeholders understand potential options to address a rise in the uninsured rate.
