Creating California’s “No Wrong Door” for Health Coverage: Recommendations from Consumer Advocates

In an effort to ensure that children receive the health care they need, the Youth Law Center joined the Western Center on Law and Poverty and other advocates to develop Creating California’s “No Wrong Door” for Health Coverage: Recommendations from Consumer Advocates, a paper that offers recommendations for fulfilling the promise of health care reform in California. The paper addresses California’s implementation of the eligibility and enrollment portions of the Affordable Care Act, including the application and renewal processes, verification systems, real-time enrollment, transitions between programs, coordination with public benefits programs, and appeals. This paper was made possible in part by a grant from The California Endowment.
