UCLA Fielding's Dr. Nadereh Pourat, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times about the impact of federal Medicaid reductions over the next decade in California, especially in rural counties.
“This is the moment where a lot of hard decisions have to be made about who gets care and who doesn’t,” said Nadereh Pourat, director of the Health Economics and Evaluation Research Program at UCLA. “The number of people who are going to lose coverage is large, and a lot of the systems that were in place to provide care to those individuals have either gone away or diminished.”
