Description

The leaders of the State of Calif. have opened an important debate on health care, looking to solve the problem of its citizens who lack health care insurance. As California’s single largest purchaser of health care, the Medi-Cal program is too big to be an afterthought in the debate on how to untie the knot of rising health costs, the lack of affordability, and the growing burden of cost-shifting on business. The sheer size of the Medi-Cal budget -- $37.7 billion and growing fast -- demands a smarter approach. Better by far for the state to focus on what the state is buying for its billions -- better for accountability to taxpayers and better for delivering promised health benefits to Calif.’s poor and disabled, 6.6 million of whom are enrolled in Medi-Cal. Tables and graphs.
