When the public health emergency ended in April, state health officials estimated that as many as 3 million Californians could lose Medi-Cal coverage… many of them simply because they didn’t get their renewal forms in on time.

"It gives me and my daughter peace of mind that I have someone to go to. My daughter has a busy life. Getting taken care of gives her and me peace of mind.
A lot of people feel they don't want to bother with questions when it comes to health. L.A. Care doesn't make me feel silly for asking questions, so I get the right answers and get the help I need. I'm happy to have L.A. Care. I recommend L.A. Care on Facebook. It's a great organization, a group that really cares and always provides help."
