Abstract:

This report estimates the number of uninsured parents and children who are eligible for Medi-Cal or Healthy Families coverage as a result of changes made under the 1999-2000 budget act — and the number who would become eligible for these programs under four different policy proposals to simplify and expand eligibility.
