Childcare subsidies is one idea that has been tossed out. Determining the \"right relationship with the counties\" could shape up to be one of the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2013/01/11/state-vs-county-showdown-over-funding-the-medi-cal-expansion/\" target=\"_blank\">political battles to watch\u003c/a> in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"unknown\" of the ultimate cost is, in part, because no one can be sure exactly how many people will sign up for coverage. In addition, the mass marketing that is expected to happen this summer to encourage people to enroll is expected to bring in many people currently eligible for Medi-Cal but not currently enrolled.

The state has put $350 million in the budget as a \"placeholder,\" Dooley said. It's hard to be sure if that's enough or too much money. Dooley discussed the difficulty of determining true numbers because estimates of how many people will enroll vary widely. \u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/healthcare/medi-cal_expansion.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">One recent report\u003c/a> showed that between 240,000 and 510,000 currently eligible people are expected to be enrolled between 2014 and 2019. That's a big differential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a rally by health advocates in San Francisco today, Linda Lew of Health Access chided the state for being so careful. \"It's good to be cautious,\" she told KQED's Mina Kim, \"but in some ways it's needlessly cautious. The Medicaid expansion is one good example. The first two years are 100 percent federally funded and subsequent years are 90 percent funded, so it's not going to be a huge lift on the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.csac.counties.org/post/csac-issues-statement-regarding-governors-budget-proposal\" target=\"_blank\">a statement on its website\u003c/a>, the California State Association of Counties said it was \"pleased\" that the governor is moving ahead with implementing the Affordable Care Act. But the group echoed the Administration in discussing the challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Counties recognize that a number of short- and long-term questions about health reform remain unanswered and the uncertainty makes implementation challenging. These proposals carry risks for counties, too. Counties want to be sure that all options for Medicaid expansion are discussed and that the critical role of counties in delivering health services, including hospital and safety net services, is maintained.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: This post has been updated with details from California's Secretary of Health and Human Services and other reactions to the governor's budget.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/stateofhealth/9875/governors-proposals-for-medicaid-expansion","authors":["240"],"categories":["stateofhealth_14","stateofhealth_13"],"tags":["stateofhealth_38","stateofhealth_263"],"featImg":"stateofhealth_9886","label":"stateofhealth"},"stateofhealth_6720":{"type":"posts","id":"stateofhealth_6720","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"stateofhealth","id":"6720","score":null,"sort":[1340733537000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"california-budget-proposal-would-move-880000-children-off-healthy-families","title":"California Budget Proposal Would Move 880,000 Children Off Healthy Families","publishDate":1340733537,"format":"aside","headTitle":"State of Health | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"stateofhealth"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6734\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2012/06/Child-at-dentist.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6734\" title=\"A kindergartner visits the dentist, one of the services parents and advocates are worried about accessing when they switch to Medi-Cal.
