Innovative California Health Care Program Gets $540 Mil in Federal Funds
Ten California counties will get $540 million in federal money over the next 3 years to cover 180,000 low-income adults who don't qualify for "Medi-Cal". This program targets adults because virtually all California children have health insurance - through either private coverage or public programs.
Governor Schwarzenegger helped negotiate the deal with federal officials with a promise of new approaches for providing care to people who would otherwise get health care at emergency rooms. The counties will provide preventive care and follow-up treatment for chronic conditions like diabetes.
