Description:
Policy brief regarding the 100,000 low-income Californians who have benefited from California's Health Care Coverage Initiatives (CIs). Not only do the CI enrollees receive health care coverage, they are also assigned to a medical home. A medical home is a clinic that provides enrollees with efficient, effective and preventive care for their specific needs. As the Obama Administration and Congress now look to build upon proven strategies for expanding coverage, the CIs offer a promising model that is increasing coverage and access and improving quality, and will likely be cost-effective.
