A new issue brief from The Children’s Partnership suggests California’s Medicaid system may not be up to the task.
“California’s Medi-Cal dental system is already struggling to serve children and is unprepared for what’s to come,” said Wendy Lazarus, founder and co-president of The Children’s Partnership. “California’s kids deserve real access to quality dental care — not a false promise of it,” Lazarus said in a statement accompanying the brief, “Fix Medi-Cal Dental Coverage: Half of California’s Kids Depend On It.”
