Abstract:
The report details trends in health care financing for low-income and indigent populations in California and provides administrative estimates of participation in publicly funded health insurance programs over the past five years.
The report is divided into three sections. It begins with an overview of enrollment and expenditure trends in the major publicly funded health insurance programs available to lowincome Californians. Then, it reviews the multiple and overlapping state funding streams that finance health care services for low-income, uninsured individuals. Finally, it presents an overview of the service delivery systems for these populations, hospitals and community clinics and specialized programs for certain sub-groups.
