Healthy San Francisco information

Healthy San Francisco is a health access program launched in 2007 to subsidize medical care for uninsured residents of San Francisco, California.^[1] The program's stated objective is to bring universal health care to the city.^[2]^[3] Healthy San Francisco is not a true insurance program, as it does not cover services such as dental and vision care, and only covers services received in the city and county of San Francisco.^[4] The program itself acknowledges its limitations, and has stated that "insurance is always a better choice."^[4]^[5]^{[failed verification]} Healthy San Francisco represents the first time a local government has attempted to provide health insurance for all of its constituents.^[6] The program is open to low-income city residents over the age of 18 who do not qualify for other public coverage, and who have had no insurance for at least 90 days.^[7] Eligibility is not conditional on citizenship, immigration, employment or health status.^[7]^[8] The program covers a range of services, but only pays providers within San Francisco.^[4] By July 2010, almost 90% of the uninsured adults in San Francisco — over 50,000 people — had enrolled in Healthy San Francisco.^[9]
