Health Insurance

Covered California is a free service that connects Californians with brand-name health insurance under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. When you apply, you may qualify for a discount on a health plan through Covered California, or get health insurance through the state’s Medi-Cal program. 

Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program. This is a public health insurance program that provides free or low cost medical services for children and adults with limited income and resources. 

My Health LA is a no-cost health care program for people who live in Los Angeles County. MHLA is free to individuals and families who do not have and cannot get health insurance, such as Full-Scope Medi-Cal.


The Child Health Program (CHP) helps pay for health coverage for children 18 and under who don't have access to other health coverage. Child Health Program members receive a subsidy to help pay monthly premiums, and do not have to pay copays or out-of-pocket costs for most care at Kaiser Permanente facilities.
