California uninsured to double to 4.6M by 2030 as Becerra campaigns

California's uninsured population under 65 is projected to nearly double from 2.4 million to 4.6 million by 2030 as state and federal cuts to Medicaid and ACA marketplaces take hold. The contraction could cost roughly 200,000 jobs, mostly in healthcare, while hospitals absorb more uncompensated care and insurers face sicker risk pools. The next governor — likely Xavier Becerra — inherits what Covered California's leader calls a 'triage' situation.
