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.

This issue brief examines the basic structure of dental insurance to illustrate how it enables Californians' access to dental care.
