California took a significant step toward making health care coverage available to everyone, by opening Medi-Cal to tens of thousands of people regardless of their immigration status.
Seniors 50 years of age and older eligible for Medi-Cal can now sign up, regardless of immigration status, a change effective May 1.
But for the last decade, Cruz has come to Clinica Romero. She's among the 40% of undocumented patients getting healthcare there, a service expanding across the state. On Monday, Cruz enrolled for Medi-Cal benefits at the clinic. She'll be among the newly covered Californians able to get preventive healthcare services anywhere Medi-Cal is accepted.
