L.A. Care Health Plan - Questions

How many people in L.A. County are still uninsured, after the implementation of the various government programs, plus L.A. Care? Is there a specific plan or mission in place to try to reach these people?

How is L.A. Care different from all the other programs? The website mentions that people will be pointed in the right direction to make sure that they get access to the relevant programs - how does this happen? Is there additional coverage that families or individuals receive by enrolling in LA care, versus just enrolling in MediCal or Healthy Families?

How are providers organized? Are there entire practices devoted to accepting the LA Care plan? What about hospitals - which ones in LA accept this plan? Are there any notable exceptions?

Where do you see the L.A. Care health plan in 10 years? What will change, what will remain the same? Are there any drawbacks to the way it operates currently?
