Fact Sheet
Using data from the 2005 California Health Interview Survey, researchers found that more than half of the uninsured children in California are eligible for public programs but are not enrolled, a further sign of the limitations in current health insurance arrangements. The authors also note that a measure on the November 2006 ballot, Proposition 86, would provide stable insurance for as many as 400,000 children who are currently ineligible for public programs.

Policy Brief
Using data from the 2005 CHIS -- as well as data from CHIS 2003 and CHIS 2001 -- researchers were able to identify how changes in employment-based coverage and public programs effected uninsurance rates for California's adult and child populations.

Research Report
This report from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research shows that job-based health insurance coverage -- the backbone of the state's system of health insurance -- is declining. More than 6.6 million Californians under age 65 (more than one in five nonelderly residents) went without insurance for at least part of 2003 and more than 3.7 million lacked health coverage for the entire year.

Policy Brief
Between 2001 and 2003, both children and adults lost employment-based health insurance coverage. For children, increased enrollment in Medi-Cal and Healthy Families resulted in a lower uninsured rate. For adults, however, the decline in employment-based insurance coverage from 2001 to 2003 resulted in a slight increase in the uninsured rate.

The cultural and linguistic diversity of the U.S. population presents challenges to the design and implementation of population-based surveys that serve to inform public policies. Information derived from such surveys may be less than representative of groups with limited or no English language skills are not included.
