Health4All Coalition Mobilizes Defense of UIS Adult Dental Benefit + $30 Premium Reversal — Distinct From SB 1422

Health Access California (chair), California Immigrant Policy Center, Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, CPEHN, and Western Center for Law on Poverty are mobilizing a separate Health4All Coalition campaign distinct from SB 1422. Two policy levers: (1) reversing the July 1, 2026 elimination of adult dental benefits for UIS Medi-Cal patients, and (2) blocking the mandatory $30/month premium for UIS adults ages 19-59 starting July 2027. Different from SB 1422's enrollment freeze reversal — these are budget-trailer-bill items with May Revise window May 14. Strategic implication for FQHCs: the dental cut directly hits FQHC dental clinics serving UIS adults; the $30 premium will price out tens of thousands. Multi-lever campaign signals labor + immigrant + civil rights coalitions are now organized for the May 14 budget window.
