MEDI-CAL UPDATE! SPREAD THE WORD.

For those of you who have been following my posts about Medi-Cal, you know that I put out an alert that going on Medi-Cal under Covered California could lead to the loss of your family home if you are over 55 years old. This is new news to for the many people who have just qualified for Medi-Cal because of the expanded program (Thanks Obama!), but as my post on Medi-Cal recovery explains, it is old news for everyone who has been dealing with the fact that Medi-Cal is a LOAN, not a public service, once you hit 55 (or if you are unlucky enough to fall in any of the other recovery categories).
But California State Senator Hernandez introduced a bill yesterday (SB1124 for you code lovers) that goes a long way to address the fundamental unfairness of forcing very poor people ages 55-65 to pay for their health care with their homes while everyone else, from birth to death, is now eligible for either subsidized health insurance or (for those over 65) medicare.

SB 1124 isn’t perfect, but it would allow thousands of older, low-income Medi-Cal beneficiaries to be relieved of the worry about losing their family homes.
