This book was released on 2011 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 4.7 million nonelderly adults and children of the seven million Californians who were uninsured for all or part of 2009 will be eligible for insurance as a result of last year's health care reform legislation, according to new data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS 2009). Eligible Californians will obtain coverage either through Medi-Cal or through subsidies to purchase private health insurance in the new California Health Benefit Exchange (CHBE) starting in 2014. The CHBE will also be open to 1.2 million uninsured persons who do not qualify for subsidized premiums due to their income exceeding eligibility levels, but who will benefit from the new marketplace created through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Just over one million uninsured persons do not qualify to participate in either the CHBE or in the Medi-Cal expansion due to their citizenship status. With seven million uninsured residents of California in 2009, the new insurance options made available by the PPACA could face challenges in enrolling these uninsured individuals.

Book excerpt: Introduction: Over the past five years, California made significant strides in reducing the number of uninsured children from an estimated 778,000 in 2003 to 683,000 children in 2007, a 12 percent decline. This improvement in children's coverage was due in part to Medi-Cal and Healthy Families expansions, the introduction of Healthy Kids programs in several counties, and effective outreach and enrollment efforts. However, gains in children's coverage have slowed in recent years. Children's Health Coverage Facts and Figures provides an overview of trends in children's coverage and insurance programs in the state. Key findings include: The proportion * of children without health insurance continued to decline through 2007, though the pace of improvement has slowed. * Nearly 80 percent of California's uninsured children are eligible for coverage under either Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, or Healthy Kids. * Medi-Cal and Healthy Families are key sources of coverage for children in low-income households that together have closed the coverage gap among families with incomes up to 250 percent of the federal poverty level. * Healthy Kids programs are also important for children's coverage. Twenty-four counties operate Healthy Kids programs and four others rely on California Kids. * Children are less likely to have employment-based coverage than adults and are more likely to be enrolled in public programs in California. The future of children's health insurance coverage in California is uncertain. On the one hand, California's economic downturn and budget crisis will likely make it difficult to increase the number of insured children. On the other, Congress and the President reauthorized the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides new policy options for expanding coverage. In addition, Congress and the Obama Administration are working on national health care reform, which if enacted, would likely benefit children in California. In this presentation, children are defined as people between the ages of 0 and 18, unless otherwise noted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California has a high percentage of its population uninsured. The uninsured are predominantly young, low wage working families. Children's uninsured rates are falling while uninsured rates for young working adults are growing at the fastest rates. In California and nationally, the rates of increase in health costs and premiums are the prime cause of the growth in the uninsured. California has made important progress in covering the uninsured including: expanded coverage for children and parents, underwriting reforms and purchasing pools for small employers and a growing momentum for change at state and local levels. There are many state and local leaders of good will seeking both immediate and long term, far-reaching solutions. Major legislation is being proposed to reduce California's high rate of uninsured; these proposals include mandating employer and individual coverage, coverage for all children and enacting a Canadian style single payer system. Universal coverage could be incrementally achieved in California sequenced as follows: first, all children, second Healthy Families parents, third low wage working adults, finally universal coverage (via mandates, pay or play or taxes) if linked to cost controls. The missing ingredients for success are stakeholder statesmanship. An increasing number of counties, regions and local initiatives are developing innovative pilots to increase coverage of the uninsured. Most cover children; some cover adults and parents. Some test new forms of coverage such as managed care for the county indigent or purchasing pools and premium subsidies for low wage workforces. Local efforts build on the strengths and needs of local communities: 1) Local Initiatives, County Organized Health Systems and Community Health Plans who are willing and able to lead experiments, commit financing and take risk, 2) public hospitals and community clinics who treat Medi-Cal, county indigent and uninsured patients without discriminating based on the patient's payor source, and 3) strong and cohesive local leaderships. The biggest challenge to local innovation is the frozen, fragmented and often incomprehensible thicket of federal and state programs and funding streams on which they rely. California is unique in that local government with the least access to funding shows the greatest leadership and creativity in covering the uninsured.
