Uninsured Californians Are Urged to Sign Up for Subsidized Health Care. Here's How | KQED
Briefly

"We begin this open enrollment with record-high numbers of enrollees and California's lowest uninsured rate to date. Our total number of enrollees has risen by 15% overall in the past four years, with our largest gains among our communities of color," Altman said.
"Citing the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, Altman highlighted that roughly 1.3 million Californians are uninsured despite being eligible for low-cost coverage through Covered California or free insurance through Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program."
"...DACA recipients can enroll through a special enrollment period and gain coverage on December 1. So if you need care...if you haven't gotten your checkup, if you are one of our DACA recipients, we're here for you right now," Altman said.
"A group of 19 states have since decided to sue the federal government over that decision. They argue that the expansion creates an additional burden on those states by requiring them to insure immigrants."
