Healthy Families Program (California)

The Healthy Families Program in California was a state-funded initiative providing low-income families with affordable health insurance coverage for their children. It aimed to ensure children had access to preventive care, doctor visits, immunizations, and other essential services. The program helped reduce financial barriers to healthcare, promoting healthier outcomes for children in need. Starting in 2014, it was replaced by Medicaid (known as Medi-Cal in California) for many families, consolidating coverage options under the state's broader health coverage system.
