Journal Article
Existing studies of disparities in access to oral health care for underserved populations often focus on supply, such as the number of dentists. This overlooks other important aspects of the dental care delivery system, such as personal and practice characteristics of dentists, that determine the capacity to provide care.

Policy Brief
Community health centers (CHCs) are a cornerstone of the health care safety net. They are the primary source of care for many low-income populations, including both those newly insured under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and those who were left out and will remain uninsured. The ACA provides challenges and opportunities for CHCs, which will require significant changes in infrastructure and care delivery approaches to meet those challenges.

Research Report
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has expanded health coverage to millions of Californians and has improved coverage for millions more, but between 2.7 and 3.4 million Californians under age 65 are predicted to still remain uninsured by 2019, after the ACA is fully implemented. Of those predicted to remain uninsured, almost half — between 1.4 and 1.5 million — are ineligible for federal coverage options due to their immigration status.

Journal Article
Undocumented immigrants were excluded from the health benefit marketplaces created by the Affordable Care Act partly because of claims that they contribute to problems such as high costs and emergency department (ED) crowding. This Health Affairs journal article examines the likely health care use and costs of undocumented immigrants in California in 2009–2010.

Policy Brief
More than 35,000 dentists were licensed to practice in California in 2012, a number higher than in any other state and representing about 15.6 percent of the total number of dentists nationwide. Despite these numbers, concerns over a sufficient supply of dentists in the state have not diminished.

Research Report
This joint report describes the health needs, common sources of care, and major barriers to health care access for teens and young adults in California who are eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides temporary work authorization and relief from deportation for qualified undocumented immigrants.

Research Report
This is the first report in a two-part series on the profile of the DACA-eligible population in California. This report describes health care coverage of DACA-eligible Californians and presents potential policy solutions to expand their coverage options.

Research Report
The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research was selected to evaluate the Health Care Coverage Initiative (HCCI), a ten-county experimental program to extend health care coverage to more than 230,000 low-income uninsured adults who were not otherwise eligible for public programs such as Medi-Cal. This report presents findings based on data received by UCLA from the participating counties as of April 30, 2012 and from DHCS as of July 19, 2012.

Research Report
This report examines the success and challenges of the Low Income Health Program (LIHP) in California. It combines earlier assessments of 10 counties that participated in the Health Care Coverage Initiative (HCCI) program, a precursor to the LIHP, along with a survey of LIHP program administrators and a survey of primary care providers within LIHP networks to assess system redesign efforts during LIHP.

Research Report
Maternal hemorrhage is a major public health concern nationally and in California.Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the significant societal and cost burdens of this condition, as well as prevent some maternal mortality due to maternal hemorrhage. Approximately half a million births occur in California annually, nearly half of which are paid by Medi-Cal.
