California is leading the country in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to expand access to health care coverage; it has the potential to do the same for human services. By integrating health care coverage with access to CalFresh’s nutrition assistance, California would provide consumers with both health care and food – in one seamless, modern customer-service experience.
