LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Initiative - Health Consumer Alliance (HCA)

The Health Consumer Alliance’s LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Initiative centers on the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community to access culturally competent and high-quality care.

We have three main priorities at the moment: ensuring access to gender-affirming care, advocating for effective and consistent collection of sexual orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) information in health systems, and protecting against discrimination in health settings and systems.

Please note that our LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Initiative web page is currently under construction, but stay tuned for upcoming updates.

Currently, over 4.5 million childless adults, known as the ACA expansion population, are enrolled in Medi‑Cal.
