As parents hustled to pick up their kids from a school in South Los
Angeles, Juana Dominguez greeted one after another with the same question
in Spanish: "Do you have Medi-Cal?"

"Don't be afraid to get it," she urged mothers pushing strollers in the afternoon sun. She paused to chat up street vendors hawking raspados and
hot dogs, encouraging them as well, as she handed out fliers.

Many already knew Dominguez from the brightly painted Paloma Market
nearby, where she can regularly be found selling tacos at a table out
front. On this stretch of Main Street, she also dishes out health
information through a program that turns vendors into "community
messengers."

Dominguez is on a mission to make sure her neighbors know that "papers or
no papers, you're going to get help from Medi-Cal." That's because in
January, the state will open its Medicaid program to anyone whose income
is low enough to qualify, no matter their immigration status.

Free stuff!
