Health Care Reform: What Role for Counties?
The Governor has called a “special session” of the Legislature to work on implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). When the ACA takes full effect in January 2014, about a million more people will be eligible for Medi-Cal and the Governor has outlined two possible ways to expand Medi-Cal coverage. Both of them have significant implications for California’s 58 counties so it is imperative that we remain engaged in the process.
