UCLA Health and Health Care LA have allowed a longtime contract between them to end, one that ensured Medi-Cal patients access to specialty care at UCLA. This resulted in:
9,000+
Medi-Cal patients lost access to UCLA care when the Health Care LA contract ended
4,000+
of them are children with complex medical needs

This change once again exposes how UCLA Health and LA FQHC/CHC networks are advancing the Medical-Industrial Complex at the cost of the patients and communities they pride themselves on serving.
