Humboldt Supervisors Might Extend Medicaid to Juveniles
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors today will decide whether to support a state bill (SB 1091) that would provide Medicaid benefits to juveniles in county correctional facilities for up to 30 days. Staff reports indicate that the county could benefit from the additional Medicaid funding from the federal government and that juveniles in custody often have significant health care needs.
