- California lawmakers have made it tougher for seniors and people with disabilities to qualify for Medi-Cal for the second consecutive year.
- Julia Feinberg, a 37-year-old with a degenerative neuromuscular disorder, fears losing her coverage.
- Without Medi-Cal, Feinberg would likely be confined to a nursing home instead of living and working independently.
- Medi-Cal is a state-funded health benefits program in California.
- The changes could push many seniors and people with disabilities off of coverage.
