An interview with Professor Janet Coffman, from the University of California, San Francisco, about Governor Jerry Brown's proposal to save money by eliminating the Healthy Families Program, which currently provides health insurance to low-income teenagers and children, and switching them onto Medi-Cal insurance."Health plans would probably pass the rate cut on to physicians and other health professionals, which may reduce the number of health professionals who are willing to care for children enrolled in Healthy Families."Read the interview on Youth Radio.
