It is estimated that more than 3 million Californians will remain uninsured after health reform implementation. To make sure that all Californians have access to health care, we are supporting research to identify who will remain uninsured once the health reform law is implemented and how these people will access quality care.
Our work supports research, advocacy, convenings, and other efforts intended to create access to care for people not covered by the health reform law.
