SAN JOSE — Thousands of people lacking health insurance in Santa Clara County could soon access discounted or free care thanks to a newly-expanded county program.

In an unanimous vote Tuesday, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors broadened the income requirements for the county’s stopgap insurance plan. The goal is to get health coverage for people in the “missing middle” during the pandemic and beyond, while also lessening the burden on local emergency rooms.
