California Healthline
A report from the National Center for Policy Analysis shows California at or near the extremes in two Medicaid categories: California has the second-highest percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries compared with the state's population; California's average Medicaid spending per enrollee is the lowest among the states. The report -- "The State of Health Care Spending," released last month with detailed accounts of Medicare and Medicaid spending for all 50 states -- arrives at a time of change and controversy for Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program.
