I am not sure that I understand your question (sorry, coffee hasn't gotten a hold on my brain yet.) Are you asking how dificult is it to qualify for Medi-Cal in California?

Medi-Cal is the state/federally taxpayer funded health care program that is 'the payer of last resort." Qualifications are based on income, or on disability. They do also have a program that is based on a catastrophic medical hardship that would "clean you out" if you were to have to pay for it.

You can go to this page and get some additional information about it. Individuals
