California Medicaid program

California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, provides free or low-cost health coverage to eligible residents, including low-income individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities. Funded by both state and federal governments, Medi-Cal covers a wide range of services, such as doctor visits, hospital care, and prescription medications. Enrollment is open year-round, and those qualifying can apply online or through local assistance offices. Medi-Cal aims to ensure that all Californians have access to necessary healthcare services, regardless of their financial situation.
