When temporary continuous Medi-Cal enrollment expires, many young children will likely lose coverage during a critical time in their development. CA legislators must act quickly to ensure continuous #MediCal eligibility for children 0-5. #AB2402 #F5AD

Cycling on & off health insurance coverage is disruptive to continuity of health care, & is especially problematic for young children. Continuous #MediCal eligibility for CA children 0-5 will promote access to health services essential for healthy development. #AB2402 #F5AD
