California's Medi-Cal program has entered a funding emergency following a combination of state-level enrollment miscalculations and significant federal budget reductions. The shortfall threatens the stability of the nation's largest Medicaid program, impacting coverage for over 15 million residents and provider reimbursement rates.
The reintroduction of federal Medicaid work requirements is poised to disproportionately impact California's unhoused population, potentially disenrolling thousands. Health advocates warn that administrative barriers, rather than a lack of employment, will lead to a massive loss of life-saving coverage.
