Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
What happens when Medi-Cal, a lifeline for 2 in 5 Californians, faces potential cuts?
The state’s health insurance program is vital for children, low-income families, and seniors. But with Trump back in the White House and a Republican-controlled Congress, sweeping cuts are on the table.
We’ll explore the stakes for Californians, look at how the state might respond and discuss how changes could ripple out into the larger community.
On Political Breakdown, KQED's Leslie McClurg is joined by Anthony Wright, executive director Families USA, a consumer health advocacy organization.
