Milagro, a Peruvian immigrant in California, has had limited access to health care due to her immigration status. Newly expanded Medi-Cal coverage will soon provide her and other immigrants with better access to health care. Advocates face challenges in reaching this population and working through fears and barriers. Extensive outreach and resources are available to help with enrollment. The expansion of benefits coincides with the disenrollment of over 900,000 current beneficiaries. Immigrants like Milagro and Brenda find hope in the expansion, looking forward to better access to regular health care services.
