Report released by the CDC in December 2013 which gives the percentages of people insured in this country broken down factors such as age, gender, race, and state from January through June 2013. California is one of the states that has a higher percentage of uninsured people than the national average. 7.2% of children between 0 to 17 years old in California were insured at the time of the interview that was used to obtain the data for this study.
I suspect that these numbers and percentages are going to change with the Affordable Care Act and it will be interesting to see the difference between January through June 2013 and January through June 2014. There was no statistically significant difference between January through June 2012 and January through June 2013.

Health Care and Child Support
To follow up on my post from last week about health insurance, there are other options other than allowing coverage to lapse. There are assistance programs available at low cost. Health care does have an effect on child support. One or both parents are often required to maintain heath insurance coverage for any minor children as long at it’s available at no or little cost through their employer. "Available at no or little cost" is loosely interpreted and essentially any out of pocket expenses will be considered reasonable under this definition. Through the Affordable Health Care Act, various options may be available to parents who need assistance for health insurance coverage for minor children.
Starting as early October 1, 2013, parents can choose new insurance options through Covered California. (See http://www.coveredca.com/). This will be for coverage that will start January 1, 2014. The program shall allow financial assistance for qualifying families including Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and through tax credits that will help pay the premiums.
