ABSTRACT:
In 1999, 6.8 million nonelderly Californians were uninsured, down from 7.3 million the previous year. This drop in the number of uninsured was the result of a 2.3-percentage point gain in employment-based health insurance coverage and a slower decline in Medi-Cal coverage compared to the previous several years. California’s recent upturn in coverage follows years of persistent and rising rates of uninsurance, despite the booming economy during this period.
