Affordable health care for all
We are one of the first states in the nation to offer health care to everyone with low incomes. We did this through an expansion of Medi-Cal. You can get this medical care, no matter your immigration status. California is also lowering health care costs, including for prescription drugs and insulin. And we are increasing access to high-quality health care providers.
Transforming behavioral health
California is making behavioral health services more available to all, especially our youth. We’re investing in our health care workers and building housing and treatment sites. We’re getting more help to those challenged with mental illness and substance abuse. And we’ve started a nation-leading program called CARE Court. It helps get people off the streets, out of jails and hospitals, and into treatment, with the support they need.
Safeguarding reproductive health
Radical politicians are assaulting women’s health care with dangerous and deadly consequences. But California is protecting women. Governor Newsom has taken action, including signing more than 20 laws to support and expand abortion care. He led the successful push to have the right to reproductive freedom added to California’s constitution. We will protect women who seek basic care and the health care workers who provide it.
