There is no equivalent.
In California, you can be an illegal immigrant or indigent and get MediCal, or you can be simply too poor to afford medical insurance and you get nothing.

Medi-Cal is easy to obtain if you meet the income level. Depending in the county you'll be residing in, Medi-Cal may have a contract with an HMO Such as Kaiser Permanente. If such contract exists then you may "assign" your Medi-Cal to the Health Plan and have zero copays or a share of cost for covered services and prescriptions . The provider of care should not have access to how your medical coverage was obtained meaning at the point of service the receptionist/clerk/physician does not know you have Medi-Cal assigned to the Health Plan only the copay amount if there be any.
You will want to contact The Department of Health Services in the county you are considering moving to so you may inquire about the application process. You may find the local office address and phone number in the yellow pages under Local Government.
Hope this helps

Medi-Cal. If you moved here you would have to meet the residence requirement. Until then you have to have the Maine insurance. Contact the Med-Cal info line for more info. Medi-Cal is the equlivant of medicade through out the rest of the U>S.

Medical is available if you qualify. The system isn't very good, the doctors are often in the ghetto and they will see you several times before they actually do anything so they get paid for several visits. You basically have to be on welfare to get it, or illegal, or a child of poor parents.
