L.A. Care Health Plan remains steadfast in its commitment to championing the protection of Medicaid so that children, working families, seniors, and vulnerable populations can continue having access to essential health services.
As the nation’s largest publicly operated health plan, L.A. Care is deeply concerned about the proposed federal Medicaid cuts passed by the House of Representatives and the impact California’s May Budget Revise will have on our members and our ability to provide care.
Medicaid is a cornerstone of the American safety-net, providing vital health coverage and essential services to 78.5 million Americans – including 15 million Californians. In Los Angeles County alone, nearly 1 out of every 2 residents are covered by Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. L.A. Care serves more than 2.3 million of these individuals.
In December 2024, L.A. Care’s Board of Governors unanimously approved a resolution to support healthcare for all, regardless of immigration status. The Board resolution states that L.A. Care will strongly advocate for continued access to health coverage and benefits for our eligible members.
L.A. Care remains committed to its members and will continue to lend its voice and advocate for the protection of Medicaid.
