The Fourth Annual UCLA Health Care Symposium will address the issue of access to health care for the uninsured and underinsured. On both national and state levels, there have been attempts to reduce the number of individuals without adequate health care, such as expanding the scope of Medicaid, enacting California’s Healthy Families Program, and instituting more community-based free clinics. Though many of these programs have targeted and benefited specific populations, millions of Americans continue to live without sufficient health care coverage. This symposium seeks to address possible solutions to the current health care crisis: how can we provide coverage to those populations that are not receiving appropriate health care?
