Health Care Reform In California: How Did We Do In Year One?

Nearly 1.4 million Californians have enrolled in health care coverage through Covered California and an additional 1.9 million through an expanded Medi-Cal program. Do these numbers exceed expectations? Will they be revised up or down in the coming year? And what can we do to enroll the remaining uninsured in 2015?

In this live-streaming webinar, Gerald Kominski, the director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and a professor in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, will discuss what the numbers mean and what we can learn to make enrollment efforts even more successful in year two.
