Health Law Takes Bite Out Of California's Uninsured Population, Survey Finds

The Kaiser Family Foundation survey found that more than two-thirds of Californians who didn't have health insurance before the Affordable Care Act have since gained coverage. (Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent program of the Foundation.)

More than two-thirds of Californians uninsured before the Affordable Care Act now have coverage, a new report finds. 鈥淔or people that didn鈥檛 have health insurance, California has been very successful in enrolling two-thirds of that group,鈥 said Mollyann Brodie, a senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation, which released the survey's findings Thursday. 鈥淏ut the group that is left is a harder-to-reach group.鈥 (Karlamangla, 7/30)

Two-thirds of Californians who were uninsured before the Affordable Care Act went into effect now have health coverage, according to a study released Thursday. The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation has followed more than 1,100 Californians who lacked health insurance as of September 2013 through the first two coverage enrollment periods, the latest of which ended in February. (Colliver, 7/30)

Despite political hurdles, the Affordable Care Act may be coming through on its promise to provide health coverage to uninsured Californians, suggested a study released Thursday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. (Caiola, 7/30)

Nearly 70 percent of California's previously uninsured adults have gained health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act -- and most of them say their health care needs are being met, according to the latest survey of the Kaiser Family Foundation. (Seipel, 7/30)

Americans have long stood out among residents of developed nations for how much they fret over, and are bankrupted by, health care costs. But well into the second year of expanded coverage under the Affordable Care Act, those worries have eased significantly in the nation鈥檚 most populous state. (Varney, 7/30)
