  • Title: Californians newly eligible for Medi-Cal under health care reform.
    Author: Pourat N, Martinez AE, Kominski GF.
    Journal: Policy Brief UCLA Cent Health Policy Res; 2011 May; (PB2011-4):1-7. PubMed ID: 21688694.
    Abstract:
    About 2.13 million nonelderly Californians who were uninsured for all or part of 2009 are newly-eligible for Medi-Cal under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Analysis of the 2009 California Health Interview Survey indicates that this newly-eligible population is often single, working-age and employed. Their rates of most chronic conditions are similar to those currently enrolled in Medi-Cal, but they have less access to care. The characteristics of the population of the newly-eligible for Medi-Cal under ACA are likely to change by 2014 when the major provisions of the law are fully implemented. However, coverage of this newly-eligible low-income population is likely to improve their access to health services.
