SB 528: Health care: maintenance and expansion.

The bill aims to expand and maintain the Medi-Cal program, which provides health care services to low-income individuals. The program will receive additional funding to cover services or benefits not currently available due to federal financial participation limitations. These services may include abortion, family planning, and gender-affirming care. The bill requires the California Health and Human Services Agency to determine which services to provide based on the needs of target populations and federal financial participation levels. A new fund will be created to distribute the additional funding, and the agency may receive private donations to support implementation. The state-only family planning program will also be modified and expanded to facilitate the provision of these services.
