Public health officials, community leaders, faith leaders, and residents are teaming up on Tuesday, September 26 to educate decision makers and the community about the human and economic impacts of a potential Medi-Cal expansion repeal. Health care experts will speak about how a repeal will endanger health facilities across the county.

In Kern County, more than 95,000 residents would lose health care coverage, people would lose their jobs- about 4,000 jobs in health care and other industries would be lost, and nearly $305 million would be eliminated from Kern’s economy.
