Monterey County Officials OK Program To Provide Health Care Services to Local Uninsured Residents
On Tuesday, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to invest $500,000 into a pilot project that aims to provide expanded health care services -- such as blood work and prescription medications -- to uninsured and undocumented county residents. County health officials estimate 1,200 to 2,000 of the county's uninsured population of 30,000 to 50,000 would be eligible for the program.
