Provides access to health insurance to the estimated 71,000 uninsured children in Santa Clara County. CHI includes three health insurance programs: Medi-Cal, Healthy Families and a local program called Healthy Kids.

To meet the new goal, the Children’s Health Initiative incorporates three major program components:

• Every child in Santa Clara County shall have real access to regular health care as a result of being insured.
• No uninsured child who is a resident of Santa Clara County, and whose parents have an income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level, shall be turned away from receiving health coverage.
• Establish an Outreach Plan, which will include education of families on the appropriate use of their benefits and the health care system, and improve enrollment retention.

Covered California
The Covered California Health Exchange is the government agency offering subsidized Obamacare plans for this state. The California Health Exchange was created to assist citizens and legal residents with applying for marketplace coverage in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). When the law was passed in 2010, each of the 50 states had to decide to either create a state-run health insurance exchange or offer enrollment through a federally-operated exchange. This state chose to create their own exchange and called it “Covered California”.
