SAN FRANCISCO — About 15.5 million Californians — including over 150,000 people across the Bay Area — will have their Medi-Cal eligibility reconsidered.
“For us, that figure is too many,” Seciah Aquino, executive director of the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, an organization that advocates for health equity for California’s Latinx community, said in a media briefing Tuesday.
The main source of confusion for many individuals in this community, Aquino said, is the logistics of filling out forms correctly and returning the packet.
She emphasized that the contact information of navigators and other resources be readily available, and that information be provided in as many languages as possible.
