Research Report
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program, providing health insurance to Californians with low incomes, including about 40% of the state’s children, half of Californians with disabilities, over a million seniors, and about one in six working adults. In total, the program covers around 13 million Californians, nearly one-third of the state’s population. However, coverage alone does not guarantee access to health care services or affordability.

As of March 2021, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in the United States have lost more than 800 lives to COVID-19 — the highest per capita death rate in 18 of 20 US states reporting NHPI deaths. However, NHPI risks are overlooked in policy discussions. Authors discuss the NHPI COVID-19 Data Policy Lab and dashboard, featuring the disproportionate COVID-19 mortality burden for NHPIs.

Journal Article
In the U.S., Filipinxs are the third largest Asian subgroup and have represented a crucial part of the country’s health care workforce since the mid-20th century. Although the 2.9 million Filipinxs in the U.S. represent about 1% of the population, approximately 1 of 4 Filipinx working adults are frontline health care workers. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacted a disproportionate toll on Filipinx communities in the U.S. and on Filipinx health care workers, specifically.

Journal Article
The diverse Asian American population has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but due to limited data and other factors, disparities experienced by this population are hidden. This study aims to describe the Asian American community's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, California, and to better inform a Federally Qualified Health Center's (FQHC) health care services and response to challenges faced by the community.

Fact Sheet
The toll of COVID-19 on smaller communities within broad racial/ethnic categories has been exposed in media reports, memorials, and data collected by special interest groups. However, in many public-facing data systems, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) and Asian categories are grouped together or may not even be reported.
