Abstract

About 2.13 million nonelderly Californians who were uninsured for all or part of 2009 are newly-eligible for Medi-Cal under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Analysis of the 2009 California Health Interview Survey indicates that this newly-eligible population is often single, working-age and employed. Their rates of most chronic conditions are similar to those currently enrolled in Medi-Cal, but they have less access to care. The characteristics of the population of the newly-eligible for Medi-Cal under ACA are likely to change by 2014 when the major provisions of the law are fully implemented. However, coverage of this newly-eligible low-income population is likely to improve their access to health services.

摘要

在2009年全年或部分时间没有医保的约213万加州非老年人，根据2010年的《患者保护与平价医疗法案》（ACA），新近符合加入加州医疗补助计划（Medi-Cal）的资格。对2009年加州健康访谈调查的分析表明，这群新近符合资格的人群通常为单身、处于工作年龄且已就业。他们大多数慢性病的发病率与目前已加入加州医疗补助计划的人群相似，但他们获得医疗服务的机会较少。到2014年该法律的主要条款全面实施时，根据ACA新近符合加入加州医疗补助计划资格人群的特征可能会发生变化。然而，覆盖这一新近符合资格的低收入人群可能会改善他们获得医疗服务的机会。
