Cal Budget Center Publishes Definitive Bilingual Timeline of All Medi-Cal + CalFresh Cuts — Primary Planning Resource for FQHCs
The California Budget Center published a bilingual timeline mapping every eligibility deadline, enrollment freeze date, and administrative burden change to a calendar date — quantifying up to 2 million Californians losing Medi-Cal coverage and $2.3B–$5.1B in annual federal losses. The Spanish-language version makes it directly useful for FQHC patient navigators and community outreach staff.
