City-Wide Charity Care Trends As expected with continued implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Charity Care has declined in San Francisco. The charity care declines continue to be greater for Healthy San Francisco, likely because program participants are accustomed to actively participating in their health care and have greater support to transition onto ACA-sponsored health insurance. Traditional Charity Care will continue to be essential for the hard-to-reach population and for those who cannot access insurance. 5/15/2018 Office of Policy & Planning 6
