Medicaid Turns 60 – The Road Ahead for Health Care Justice

Guest Speakers

Event Overview

It took 60 years for Medicaid to expand health care access to over 70 million Americans with low incomes and/or disabilities. As the U.S. now faces the largest federal subsidy rollback in history, how can Americans keep the struggle for health care justice moving forward — and can California’s fight to preserve historic expansions of Medi-Cal, its version of Medicaid, serve as a model for the rest of the country?

This national briefing will feature a medical director at the country’s largest federally qualified community health center, a nationally recognized expert on Medicaid, and two veteran health care advocates in California and Washington, D.C.
