SB 987: California Health Access Fund.
What SB 987 does, verified May 16, 2026
This bill would create a new fund to support California residents who lose health care coverage due to federal law changes. The fund would be administered by the state Department of Health Care Services and would receive deposits equal to any savings to the state resulting from decreased Medi-Cal enrollment. The funds would be used to ensure that residents can continue to receive health care services and that health care providers are reimbursed for these services.
