Sacramento County's Latest Deal with Innovaccer Raises Questions on Spending and Privacy

The Sacramento County Department of Health Services recently announced a new partnership with Innovaccer, aiming to implement population health analytics for Medi-Cal and justice-involved populations. While the initiative is pitched as a way to improve care coordination and access, concerns arise over the potential for increased government spending and privacy implications. Critics argue that this could lead to more bureaucracy and governmental overreach, questioning the efficiency and necessity of such a large-scale data sharing initiative in improving actual healthcare outcomes.
