"CalAIM, launched in 2022, is an expansion of Medi-Cal that allows health insurance to pay for certain things that aren't considered traditional medical care such as services to help homeless Californians find and keep housing."
"Proponents say it's brought a much-needed infusion of money into the state's overburdened homeless services system. But because states aren't typically allowed to spend Medicaid dollars on those types of services, California had to get special permission from the federal government."
"It makes us all very nervous, said John Baackes, outgoing CEO of Medi-Cal provider L.A. Care Health Plan, about the potential impacts of a new federal administration on the CalAIM program."
