In California, one in three people is now covered by Medi-Cal, California’s version of Medicaid. Drawing upon various credible research and data sources, Medi-Cal Matters compiles a set of key facts and figures illustrating the breadth and scope of Medi-Cal coverage and the benefits of that coverage to the program’s nearly 14 million beneficiaries across the state. Sources include the California Health Interview Survey; studies by the Kaiser Family Foundation, Bay Area Economic Institute, and New England Journal of Medicine; local Medi-Cal managed care plan data; and more.
