Medi-Cal provides essential health coverage to one in three Californians and is foundational to the state’s health care delivery system and economy.
Thanks to Medi-Cal, Californians don’t go without health care coverage and receive critical health services, but much work remains to improve access to care.
We know we can do better for Californians.
