Show Notes
Californias Medi-Cal program is implementing significant changes to dental benefits for low-income, undocumented adults aged 19-54, effective July 1, 2026. These adults will lose full-scope dental benefits and only receive emergency care. This shift is due to new laws aimed at managing costs, but it raises concerns about potential health issues and increased emergency room visits. Tens of thousands of individuals, particularly in Central Valley counties, are at risk of losing these benefits.
