      ‘Health Navigators’ Connect Undocumented To California’s Expanding Health Network

      State-funded “Health Navigators” help uninsured and undocumented people access the state’s expanding public health system, despite often unfounded fears that using the benefits will get them into trouble with immigration authorities.

      Sanctuary Clinics Offer Respite For Undocumented Residents Amid Immigration Raids

      As tougher immigration enforcement has become more common under the Trump administration, some undocumented immigrants avoid seeking healthcare for fear of being intercepted by ICE. Sanctuary clinics are trying to close this gap.

      Undocumented Seniors Have Tenuous Chance At Needed Health Care

      Sammy Caiola

      Three proposals addressing Medi-Cal expansion to undocumented immigrants are up for debate this week. The latest includes seniors, which are a small but high-need slice of the state’s undocumented population.

      Health Care Plans For Undocumented Californians May Be Scaled Back

      Sammy Caiola

      State lawmakers could be scaling back proposals to expand Medi-Cal coverage to all Californians regardless of immigration status, after a Senate budget subcommittee approved funding for only undocumented young adults and seniors.

      Gov. Newsom Wants Undocumented Young Adults To Have California Health Care

      While R. Lopez's low income family qualified for government-funded health coverage, her legal status prevented her from accessing full-scope Medi-Cal for much of her childhood. That changed in 2016.

      Will Undocumented Immigrants Avoid New State Health Benefits In California?

      The Trump administration's immigration crackdown has already stopped many immigrants from using public health benefits. California Gov. Newsom plans to make sure those fears don't also stop immigrants from using a proposed health care expansion.

      California’s Patchwork Of Care For The Undocumented: Where You Live Matters

      Sammy Caiola

      While comprehensive care is elusive for the undocumented in all California counties, where a person lives can make all the difference in whether health care is available at all outside of emergency rooms.

      Gavin Newsom Turns To Obamacare Playbook To Reach Hard To Insure And Hard To Count

      Sammy Caiola

      With potentially more than $100 million in funding at stake, California is trying out some unusual strategies to encourage hard-to-count populations to participate in the census and exploring ways to link them with other public outreach efforts.

      Newsom’s Latest Health Care Proposal Includes More Help For Covered California Consumers

      Sammy Caiola

      Gov. Gavin Newsom says he’s committed to universal health care goals, but some advocates say his revised budget proposal falls short, particularly for the undocumented.

      New California Bills Aim To Make Health Care Cheaper And More Accessible

      There are 22 bills before the Legislature this year that aim to make health care more affordable and accessible. Even though they're all heading in the same direction, there are competing visions of what a health care expansion should look like.

      California’s Individual Mandate: A Fix For A Broken System? Or A Penalty On The Poor?

      Sammy Caiola

      Newsom and his legislative allies say they want the state-level mandate to work the same way as the federal one. The goal is to encourage enough healthy people to buy coverage to offset costs from those who need expensive care.

      Sammy Caiola

      State lawmakers received a first look Friday at the costs tied to an ambitious plan to provide health insurance for more California residents.
