New Watsonville program ensures no baby goes home without a doctor and insurance From day one, babies born in Watsonville are given access to a pediatrician and get signed up for medical insurance... Baby Gateway begins at the mother and baby's bedside with an adviser from Salud Para la Gente talking with the family to determine their eligibility for MediCal. If the family qualifies for the state health insurance, the adviser walks them through the enrollment process. Health officials estimate half of the 2,000 babies born in Santa Cruz County qualify for MediCal, though many parents find the application process confusing [because they don't understand English well]. santacruzsentinel.com The first comment to the article claims, "87% of the babies born at Watsonville Community Hospital are MediCal funded births."
