Does Healthy Families insurance in California cover pregnant women?

As of 2015, the Healthy Families program, which was only for children, is no longer in place in California, and the Medi-Cal program has taken its place, notes Contra Costa Health Services. Medi-Cal, however, does cover pregnant woman who are low-income in California.

Healthy Families covered children's vision, medical and dental care when their parents met income requirements. As of 2015, Medi-Cal helps provide medical benefits to pregnant women and low-income women with children. Recipients can receive prenatal care, medication, preventative services, children's services and coverage for hospitalization, mentions Covered CA. Medi-Cal also covers the disabled, elderly and those receiving benefits, such as CalFresh or refugee assistance, in California.
