State’s Uninsured Rate Drops, but Still High
The percentage of Californians without health insurance has dropped, following a national trend, but the state still has among the highest shares of uninsured, according to the new U.S. Census figures.
Last year, 20.3 percent of Californians lacked health coverage, down from 1998’s figure of 22.1 percent, the Census Bureau said in a report released Sept. 28.
Nationally, the share of the population without health insurance has also declined, reversing a 12-year trend.
