Information on California Health Care

California is one of the nation's most heavily populated states, ranked number 24 by the United Health Foundation America's Health Ranking report in 2008. In 2007, over 2,420,619 state residents were enrolled in privately purchased, individual coverage. In the same year, over 6,701,890 California residents were uninsured, many of whom may have been eligible for individual health insurance coverage or state-sponsored health plans.

It is always smart to have some form of health insurance to protect yourself and your finances in case of unexpected injury or illness. Health insurance plans with high deductibles and low monthly premiums can give you a basic level of coverage that will help pay for hospital stays or other major medical events. In California, health care services paid for by public and private sources averaged $4, 638 per person, per year. It's hard for anyone to imagine paying that much money because something happened while living without health insurance. Even if you were treated at the hospital as an inpatient for one day, that would cost an average of $2,056 in California.

Health insurance in California really can be affordable and eHealthInsurance offers plans from many leading health insurance companies. If you have questions about individual and family or small business health insurance products available in California, eHealthInsurance has licensed agents and representatives ready to help.
