FROM THE FOUNDATION

Big Business, Little Data

A growing number of Californians are being sent to ambulatory surgery centers for a wide variety of procedures, yet little is known about the care they deliver because reporting is not required.

And the Winner Is...

See how human-centered designers answered our challenge to encourage more people to complete advance directives and document their end-of-life wishes.

Ready or Not

Even with new federal resources to help, a study finds that communities with weaker safety-net systems are lagging in preparations for health reform.

I don't think this article expressed what is really going on here. There a number of counties that Kaiser doesn't have medi-Cal contracts in BUT currently does have Healthy Families contracts. Kaiser and other providers have been concerned because now those kids will not be able to stay with their Kaiser providers when they are changed to Medi-Cal. That is what is bothering the Kaiser organization, not money. The legislators and state officials think there is this plethora of Medi-Cal providers just waiting to care for Medi-Cal patients - but that is a brutal myth.
