Medi-Cal: Woes. Medi-Cal: Hopes.

Wednesday_673x324WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27.
PROGRAM # 7770 12:00 PM PT

Medi-Cal: Woes.

Latino Medi-Cal recipients and civil rights lawyers have filed a complaint against the public health program Medi-Cal alleging that the shortage of doctors willing to see Medi-Cal patients are making it hard for Latinos to access health care services. This is a conversation with a leading attorney.

Guest: Michelle Lilienfeld, Senior Attorney, National Health Law Program, Los Angeles, CA.

Medi-Cal: Hopes. Health care leaders renew efforts to pass a bill in California directing the state to seek permission from the federal government to allow undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients to purchase health plans in the state’s insurance marketplace. The bill would also expand access to the public health program Medi-Cal to low-income undocumented adults.

Guest: Carolina Gamero, Communications Specialist, California Immigrant Policy Center, Health for All Coalition, Los Angeles, CA.
