As California moves ahead to implement the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA), the next few years promise to be an intense period full of major milestones and formidable challenges.
The California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF), in partnership with The California Endowment (TCE), hosted a Sacramento briefing designed for legislative staff and others interested in understanding the fundamentals of health policy in the Golden State.
The session covered: a basic overview of California's public programs, including Medi-Cal; the core concepts behind the ACA; how the state's health care markets are organized and care is delivered; and how factors other than medical care, such as economic and social conditions, influence health.
Presenters included:
Dr. George Flores, program manager, TCE
Robbin Gaines, senior program officer, Market and Policy Monitor, CHCF
Chris Perrone, deputy director, Health Reform and Public Programs, CHCF
Sandra Shewry, director, State Health Policy, CHCF
Catherine Teare, senior program officer, Health Reform and Public Programs,
