“By enrollment, Medi-Cal is already the nations largest Medicaid program, In 2012 it covered 7.6 Million people or more than a fifth of the state’s population. As the second largest portion of the state budget and as one of the budget’s fastest growing expenses, Medi-Cal has historically been a target for cost containment–additionally, Medi-Cal’s relatively low (and still declining) reimbursement rates have discouraged more and more physicians from providing services to Medi-Cal patients, reducing access to care for many enrollees,” the exact opposite of what ObamaCare claimed that it wanted to change.
