Medi-Cal: eligibility: immigration status.

Summary

The bill changes California’s Medi‑Cal rules so that people who lack satisfactory immigration status can receive the same health services as citizens, subject to some premium and dental limits. It requires the Department of Finance to calculate the cost of this expansion and report it to the Legislature and Governor, after which the existing pregnancy‑only and emergency‑only restrictions would end. The change would be phased in by age groups and would affect counties that administer Medi‑Cal eligibility.
