We asked expats in California if they have access to public healthcare in California. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in California, you will have access to public healthcare. California has a variety of public healthcare options, including Medi-Cal, which is a low-cost health insurance program for people with limited incomes, and Covered California, which is a health insurance marketplace where you can compare and purchase health insurance plans. California also has a variety of public health clinics and hospitals that provide free or low-cost care. The quality of care varies depending on the facility, but overall, California's public healthcare system is generally considered to be of good quality," remarked another expat in California.
