Message from the Public Health Officer
On December 6th, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution opposing any repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA, through Medi-Cal expansion, Covered California, consumer protections, and quality improvement initiatives, has increased access to affordable, high-quality health care for tens of thousands of Marin County residents. Between 2013 and 2016, the number of Marin residents covered by Medi-Cal nearly doubled from 20,154 to 38,843. Increased access has been matched by quality improvements in prevention and screening, chronic disease management, patient experience and advanced care planning. HHS is committed to working with you, our healthcare partners, to protect access to high quality health care to achieve health equity for All in Marin.
Warm Regards,
Matt Willis
