Affordable – Coverage and care are affordable for public and private purchasers and for consumers at the point of care.
Effective – Health care and related support services are cost-effective, coordinated, and high-quality.
Equitable – Californians can expect fair access and treatment regardless of age, health status, income, language, race or ethnicity, gender, immigration status, geographic region, and public or private coverage.
