Where Californians Stand with Health Insurance

Unfortunately, 763,000 children in California are uninsured - a number that has been stagnant since 2003. California ranks 43rd out of 50 states on the percentage of children who are insured.

It is getting increasingly difficult for workers in California to purchase health insurance for their families, much less for themselves.1
