NYT Letter to Editor Urges California To Grant Undocumented Californians Access to ACA Benefits

In a letter to the editor published in the New York Times, Robert Ross -- president and CEO of the California Endowment and a former Covered California board member -- agreed with a recent editorial touting the success of the Affordable Care Act in California, but he adds, "Obamacare could be even more successful" if undocumented Californians were able to participate. He writes, "[T]heir exclusion undermines the principle of health care as a human right."
