Is there a government program that helps college students with health/dental insurance?

I'm a college student in a Cal State University. I receive financial aid (grants) and I would like to know if there are government programs that will help me or give discount for health/dental insurance? Thanks

The only program at the state level is Medi-cal and unless you have children under the age of 18 and have a 30 day disability, you will not qualify. Check at the student health center for options on getting low cost insurance that will at least cover the big stuff. They should also offer care there or can refer you to low cost clinics. County clinics and hospitals also offer care at a reduced sliding fee scale based on your ability to pay.
