Efficacy of Medicaid for Patients With Cancer in California

Medicaid in California (MediCal) is neither safe nor effective. If MediCal were a drug, a responsible regulator should consider pulling it from the market. In their Original Investigation published in this issue of JAMA Oncology, Ellis and colleagues analyze survival from California's population-based California Cancer Registry and demonstrate that MediCal is a disaster for Californians. MediCal and the related Children's Health Insurance Program provide health care coverage insurance to nearly 12.3 million of California's 39.3 million residents.
