Description
Annie Ro, Celina Morales, and Connie Valencia study older Latino patients moving to full Medi-Cal cover in 2025. In May 2022 California first gave full cover to low income residents aged fifty and up, whatever their status. Twelve undocumented patients at two clinics shared their experience. Focus groups and interviews ran through 2023.
Most enrolled with success, but near all needed help from clinic staff or social workers. Some kept steady primary care from an older local program. Others with patchy past care saw costs drop. All felt safer and more willing to seek care. The authors stress that hands on enrollment help is vital. Prior local cover shaped how big the change felt.
