The Affordable Care Act will significantly expand access to affordable health coverage in California through Medi-Cal and the Health Benefit Exchange. Using the California Simulation of Insurance Markets (CalSIM) model, the authors found that an estimated 2.9 to 3.7 million Californians will be newly covered through Medi-Cal or receive subsidized coverage in the Exchange. Others will gain access to coverage through new prohibitions on insurers denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. As a result, nine out of ten Californians under age 65 will have coverage when the ACA is fully implemented.
