Affordable health care is essential for everyone to be healthy and thrive. Having health insurance coverage helps lower out-of-pocket expenses and ensures access to preventive care, which in turn supports workforce participation and education. Using 2023 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data, the California Budget & Policy Center produced fact sheets covering five insurance topics.

American Indian, Alaska Native, and Indigenous (AI/AN/In) communities have been greatly undercounted, uncounted, and miscounted/miscategorized in data collection efforts across state, county, and federal agencies — including in the census — presenting stark challenges to accurately highlighting inequities impacting AI/AN/In children. This study uses 2019, 2020 and 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data.

Journal Article
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted population health, including mental health, in ways that were patterned unevenly by pre-existing systemic inequalities such as structural gendered racism and xenophobia. However, it remains unclear whether pandemic-related mental health deterioration has persisted over time. Authors conceptualize the pandemic as a prolonged macro-level disruptive event with unequal ramifications for different racialized groups and by immigration status.
