Different Types of Health Insurance in California

Many people who live in California have health insurance, a benefit that may be tied to their employment. The type of health care available and the cost of premiums can differ for those who choose to self-pay or those with coverage. In California, there are two main types of health insurance: private and government-sponsored (in this case, it is through Medicare). Here are some facts about the different types of healthcare plans for Californians.

California is one of the seven states that does not have an individual mandate requirement when it comes to having healthcare coverage. However, those who do not have coverage are subject to a fine. Californians who plan on choosing to purchase their health insurance individually can apply for health plans and do not have to enroll in one as soon as they qualify for insurance because the state is fairly lenient when it comes to this aspect. There are many health plans available to choose from, making it possible for people buying a private policy in California to find something that works best for them. The type of policy they should buy depends on a few different factors.

Medicare is fairly popular among citizens in most parts of the country. Medicare, the United States' federally funded health program for people who are 65 or older and younger disabled persons, costs beneficiaries approximately $110.25 on average each month. However, there are reduced-cost plans available to beneficiaries who make less money than that. Approximately one in four Medicare beneficiaries choose Medicare Part D, a drug coverage plan that includes coverage for both brand-name drugs and generic pharmaceuticals.

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) also covers healthcare costs for nearly 1.4 million disabled Californians and their spouses. SSI is available for disabled people who are 65 or older and have limited income.

Although the Affordable Care Act has been in effect for several years now, it is still fairly new to many Californians. While everyone knows that health insurance is important in the United States, not everyone understands exactly how healthcare works in California. Understanding how to find affordable health insurance can help Californians make better decisions regarding their healthcare needs.

There are different ways to obtain health care coverage, whether it be through a job or by choosing a policy independently. Being aware of these factors can allow consumers to make better decisions involving their medical coverage and help them find the right plan for them and their family.
