After the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the uninsured rate in California dropped from 16% in 2013 to 11% in 2014. However, 3.8 million Californians under 65 still remained uninsured.

California’s Uninsured: Coverage Expands, but Millions Left Behind provides a look at California’s uninsured population after the first year of full implementation of the ACA

Key findings include:

• From 2013 to 2014, the percentage of Californians who had individually purchased insurance or Medi-Cal increased.
• Californians age 21 to 24 experienced the largest drop of any nonelderly age group in the percentage that was uninsured, from 25% in 2013 to 16% in 2014.
• Of the state’s remaining uninsured, 1 in 4 was between the age of 25 and 34, and more than half (57%) were Latino.
• Within the employed population, over 2 million workers, about 1 in 8, were uninsured.
