Background
Access to quality health care for every eligible child and adult is a fundamental goal of the Department of Human Assistance.
Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs
The Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs provide no-cost or low-cost health insurance for adults who are aged (65 years or older), blind, disabled, pregnant, or in a long-term facility; for children who are under 21 years of age; or for families with children who receive CalWORKs and/or are deprived of support or care because at least one of their parents is unemployed/underemployed, absent, deceased, or incapacitated.
