Health insurance for $10 or less? Sacramento leaders trumpet 'the best deal in town'
Briefly

"As a doctor, there's no worse feeling than when you're sitting there with a patient who has a condition that you want to diagnose, and they're uninsured..." U.S. Rep. Ami Bera, highlighting the hardships faced by uninsured patients.
"Two-thirds of the 5.9 million state residents signed up for a health plan at Covered California pay a monthly premium of $10 or less, which provides vital health coverage." This statistic underscores the affordability of health insurance through the program.
"Open enrollment is the one time of year when Californians can sign up for insurance coverage without the need for a qualifying reason... it starts Nov. 1 and ends Jan. 31, 2025." This emphasizes the importance of the enrollment period.
"In the Sacramento region, 125,000 residents are uninsured, and many are eligible for subsidies or Medi-Cal, indicating a significant opportunity for outreach and enrollment.” Jessica Altman discusses the uninsured population.
