Abstract:
California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, is an important source of health insurance coverage for millions of Californians and their families. In fiscal year (FY) 2021–22, the Medi-Cal program spent $121.9 billion of federal, state, and local funds providing a wide range of core health benefits - including primary, specialty, acute, and behavioral health care services; prescription drugs; and long-term care - for nearly 15 million Californians with low incomes. This issue brief illustrates how California’s Medicaid program is financed and the factors that impact total spending on health services through the program.
