Journal Article
The number of Californians covered by Medi-Cal increased more than 50% between 2013 and 2018, largely due to expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This rapid expansion of Medicaid rolls prompted concerns that Medi-Cal enrollees would face greater difficulty accessing health care.

Research Report
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program, providing health insurance to Californians with low incomes, including about 40% of the state’s children, half of Californians with disabilities, over a million seniors, and about one in six working adults. In total, the program covers around 13 million Californians, nearly one-third of the state’s population. However, coverage alone does not guarantee access to health care services or affordability.

More than any other racial group, American Indian/Alaska Natives (AIAN) face the risk of imprecise survey estimates due to survey processes regarding the classification, tabulation, and weighting of race/ethnicity. Variations in approaches to classifying racial and ethnic populations in federal and state health statistics have substantial implications for how health status, access to health care, health care quality, and health equity are measured.

Policy Brief
American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people are underrepresented and often invisible in public health data and research. AIAN health data capacity is impeded by the quality of information collected, released, and reported on AIANs in population-based surveys. AIANs are either put in a residual “other” category or, typically, depicted as single-race non-Latinx AIANs.

Policy Brief
This policy brief examines gender differences in health insurance coverage and access to care using data from the 2012-2016 waves of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). By the end of 2016, following three years of full health insurance expansion due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (which went into effect on January 1, 2014), just over 10% of both men and women had gained coverage, leaving the gender gap in uninsured rates intact.

Policy Research Report
California led the way in implementing ACA reforms, and national data comparisons of all 50 states clearly show the state has been one of the most successful states in enrolling eligible people in new coverage from the ACA’s full launch in 2014 until today.

Policy Brief
The proportion of Americans who went without health insurance significantly declined after full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. However, the new federal administration in 2017 and 2018 made policy changes to the health law, and the national uninsurance rate rose in 2018. In contrast, California’s uninsurance rate remained low (8.

Summary: National health surveillance instruments are intended to monitor important health issues and health status of all populations in the United States. Several population subgroups have disparities in health conditions and health care. To effectively create programs and policies to address these issues requires accurate identification of key population subgroups.
