Sept. 22, 2005
109 pages. Excerpt: Despite a year that witnessed the creation of the nation's largest health insurance company, the result of the Wellpoint-Anthem merger, and a controversial decision by CalPERS to exclude some higher-cost Sutter hospitals from its network, the latest edition of the California Health Care Market Report finds few explosive changes in the state's health care landscape.

The California Report, Produced by KQED
Mar. 17, 2013
"'We know buying insurance is really complicated. We want to make it as easy as buying a book on Amazon,' said Peter Lee, executive director of the California Health Benefit Exchange. But as the state has worked to create the actual application for health insurance, the idea of a one-click purchase is far from the reality.... Sam Karp, vice president of programs at the California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF) [says] 'It's reasonable to expect the implementation will take not just a year. It will take a few years.'"

California Health Report
May 16, 2013
"When the final phase of the new federal health care law starts in January of next year, more California residents than ever before will be able to seek help for problems ranging from depression, anxiety, and addiction to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. But mental health providers in the state's Central Valley are unprepared for an influx of thousands of patients. State and county officials remain in the planning phases, even though new patients will be able to access these services in less than nine months."

Los Angeles Times

"A report released before the implementation of Obamacare last year found that 27% of Americans and 19% of Californians who were uninsured and eligible for subsidies didn't have bank accounts.... With the new payment system, members pay no fees when they use cash to make a premium payment at a participating store. Instead, the health plan is charged a fee equivalent to a payment for a credit card transaction."
