"Without a caregiver, I would be dead in two days," Rosaline George reveals the dire situation for seniors needing care but facing financial constraints.
Advocacy groups are fighting against restrictive Medi-Cal rules that prevent many Californians from accessing needed care, despite being just over the income limit.
The maintenance amount for seniors has not increased since 1989, leaving many with only $600 monthly for essential expenses, a situation that many find untenable.
Only 8% of seniors and disabled individuals attempting to access "share of cost" Medi-Cal actually meet the expenditure requirements, underscoring the program's inadequacy.
