Open Enrollment kickoff

Noozhawk article about HCR & Open Enrollment kickoff for the year. Toward bottom is acknowledges the role of Medi-Cal, which is nice:

"The Affordable Care Act also included a Medi-Cal expansion and earlier this year, undocumented children 19 and under in California became eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal coverage, including an estimated 3,000-4,000 children in Santa Barbara County.

Many of these children were enrolled in limited Medi-Cal plans or the state’s Healthy Kids programs, local health insurance programs that cover children who weren't eligible for public programs due to immigration status or family income level."
