The health-insurance gap

It should come as no surprise that California, the most populous state in the nation, also has the largest number of medically uninsured residents—6.9 million. That numbe r is growing, as the number of people younger than 65 who obtain health insurance through their employers continues to fall. This chart shows that families with incomes between $25,000 and $49,999 are trending away from private insurance toward either Medi-Cal or going without insurance. Changes under the Affordable Care Act, if implemented, would allow more Californians to obtain coverage.
