Nearly three-quarters of Californians who didn’t have health coverage before the Affordable Care Act are now insured, yet many are still concerned about their medical expenses, according to a report released Thursday. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey tracking the state’s uninsured population found that 72% of those without insurance in 2013 had a health plan in 2016. Across insurance types, however, many Californians still worry about the cost of medical care. About one in five of the recently insured said they went without needed medical care sometime in the past year due to cost. Jerry Brown allowed immigrants under age 19 who are in the U.S. illegally to sign up for Medi-Cal.
