Summary: 
The Sacramento Healthcare Decisions (SHD) engaged Medi-Cal beneficiaries in a project to identify their individual and collective health care priorities. SHD had beneficiaries use \"Choosing Healthplans All Together\" (CHAT), a computerized tool and interactive group. CHAT participants designed their Medi-Cal benefits by making choices from 14 categories of services, each with two or three tiers of benefits. Findings and policy recommendations can be found in this report.
