Affordable Care Act doing well so far

A recent analysis has clearly showed that the Affordable Care Act has achieved success so far. Health insurance coverage has been taken by more than 66% of Californians without health insurance before the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Majority of Californians now have access to healthcare. A group of 2,001 California adults, who were lacking insurance coverage before the Affordable Care Act expanded coverage for multiple healthcare systems in 2014, were examined by the survey.

It was learnt from a previous version of the survey that 58% of uninsured California residents were insured after the first open enrollment period.

Enrollment in the state's low-income program, Medi-Cal, saw 34% of newly covered people. Employers provided insurance to 14%, Covered California enrolled 12% and other sources provided insurance coverage to 8%.

California currently has 32% residents without medical insurance coverage, which is down from 42% last year. Many uninsured Americans are those who are illegally living in the country. Illegal immigrants are not allowed to get enrollment under the ACA.

High costs deprived 44% of Californians from taking health insurance cover. Officials are working to make sure that everybody is insured as a third of Californians is still living without health insurance.
