The San Francisco Examiner interviewed Dr. Arturo Vargas Bustamante, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management, about research he co-authored that suggests as many as 1 million Latino Californians may withdraw from Medi-Cal because of changes in federal and state regulations, including as many as 380,000 children who are U.S. citizens.
“The federal government is not trying to hide the fact that a lot of individuals they are expecting to disenroll is because they don’t have the time to deal with the paperwork, or it’s going to be too burdensome to either understand or comply with any rules,” said UCLA Fielding’s Dr. Arturo Vargas Bustamante, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management and a co-author of the brief.
