Abstract:

There is particular interest in understanding the funding of health care services for low-income
Californians. Because of the multiple sources and methods of funding, it is difficult to forecast the exact impacts of proposed policy changes. This report explains each of the major health programs and highlights trends in health care financing for low-income and indigent populations in California, providing some context for current and future policy debates. The target audience is
state policy makers, advocates, health care providers, and other interested parties.
