​This fact sheet uses data from the 2013 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to report health insurance coverage trends in the year before implementation of the Affordable Care Act. 

Findings: The authors find that more than 4.1 million of the state's uninsured ― 12.6% of the state's nonelderly population ― went without insurance for more than a year in 2013, and an additional 2.5 million fell in and out of the ranks of the insured. The fact sheet also reports on public and employer-based health coverage.
