California's healthcare coverage shrinks
California, which previously achieved a record 95% insured rate, is facing significant setbacks due to federal and state budget cuts, risking nearly doubling the uninsured population by 2030. These reductions include rolling back Medi-Cal expansions, imposing premiums, and restricting services, especially affecting undocumented and low-income residents. As a result, an estimated 2.2 million people could lose coverage in the coming years, with impacts most severe in Southern California and among Black and Asian communities. These changes threaten earlier progress toward universal healthcare in the state.
