Since June 2023 alone, 306,000 kids and counting have lost their Medi-Cal coverage. Almost all are still eligible. But, long call wait times, lack of language services, paperwork errors, and lost mail are making it difficult for many parents to keep their kids covered, particularly those with limited English language proficiency.
California has a solution: Continuous Medi-Cal Coverage for young children ages 0-5 so coverage is there for them without gaps in the critical period of brain development.
➡️ Tell Governor Newsom and state budget leaders to keep this promise to make young children's coverage a reality!
