    One is Medi-Cal. The trouble ,from my uniformed opinion, is probably having to get funding through passing a proposition or law, establishing the personnel, making all the contracts with each provider and competition from private insurance companies.

      You can’t just go get medi-cal though, you have to qualify by having an income of $20k or below (more if you have kids), are under 21 or over 65, permanently disabled or currently pregnant.

      People on medi cal are constantly stressing about earning $1 too much and losing their healthcare. Covered California helps, but it’s still bad.
