A joint committee of lawmakers unanimously ordered an audit Wednesday on children's access to primary-care doctors in the Medi-Cal program, the state's low-income heath program that is overseen by the California Department of Health Care Services.
“We are particularly concerned about children of color facing health disparities that could be perpetuated and/or exacerbated by poor monitoring and oversight,” Assemblyman Jim Wood and Sen. Anthony Cannella wrote in a letter to the audit committee.
