Coverage, Recession, Mental Health Services?

L.A. Care Health Plan seems like a one-stop shop where families can obtain low and free health coverage with assistance and even get help finding providers in their areas. Looking over their website, I get the impression that this organization seeks to pull the most vulnerable families who may fall through the health insurance cracks ensuring they do receieve healthcare. L.A. Care Health Plan aims to assist families in applying for coverage in a simple manner amidst the complex, bureacratic healthcare system.

Due to the economic recession, has funding for your programs and the endowment been affected. If so, how has L.A. Care Health Plan assured coverage for families in this time of need as many more families are loosing health coverage from employers due to lay offs?

Is the "Children's Health Initiative of Greater Los Angeles" related to SCHIP? How are they different?

What types of mental health services are covered under the different health insurance programs for Medical, Medicare, & Health Families?

The family resource center offers assistance with filling out health insurance applications and provides health education classes. However, it is located in Lynwood. With the estimate of 8,000 Angelenos L.A. Care health Plan serves, how do the rest of your clientele who are not close to Lynwood receive one on one assistance considering language and cultural barriers which may stop many families from applying on their own?
