Legal aid groups sue state over Medi-Cal approval delays

Someone posted this article in General Discussion:

Bay Area Legal Aid is suing California for leaving hundreds of thousands of people without medical coverage while dealing with a bureaucratic application backlog problem.

After I read this article I wrote the reporter about my missing Medi-Cal coverage. This makes me wonder if when Social Services cancelled everything for me (click my sig for details), Medi-Cal went into "needs to apply again" status...which would put me somewhere in this enormous backlog.

All anyone can grok now is that I've been totally deleted from the Social Services Medi-Cal database as if I never applied, even though I'm hold a Medi-Cal card and have Medi-Cal number, etc.
