Health care: maintenance and expansion.

Summary

The bill would require California’s Health and Human Services Agency to set up or expand a state‑only program that pays for health services that could lose federal Medicaid funding, such as abortion, family planning and gender‑affirming care. It would cover Medi‑Cal beneficiaries and other target populations, but only if the Legislature appropriates money and the agency can accept private donations. The goal is to preserve access to these services if federal participation drops.
