Health insurance is the primary financial vehicle for obtaining access to quality medical care and for reimbursing providers who deliver care. Approximately two-thirds of Californians obtain health insurance through the private market; yet, almost one in five Californians remains uninsured. CHCF analyzes market dynamics and their implications for both the insured and the uninsured in California.
