California plans to start moving children from the Healthy Families Program into Medi-Cal on January 1. The Children’s Partnership joins other advocates to highlight the importance of assuring children’s health care is not disrupted.
“The health of the 875,000 children who will move from Healthy Families to Medi-Cal, as well as the nearly 3.7 million children currently in enrolled in Medi-Cal, depends on the success of this transition. All eyes will be on the state. We and families across California are counting on state officials to track and quickly resolve any problems that arise,” said Wendy Lazarus, Founder and Co-President of The Children’s Partnership.
