The number of people without health insurance in California is at an all-time low.

In the last five years, many residents have purchased health coverage through the Covered California exchange and more than 3 million remain uninsured. It’s clear health care affordability is still a lingering problem.

More than one-third of Californians surveyed said “cost” was still a barrier to buying coverage, according to data from the California Health Interview Survey.

The Sacramento Bee, for a collaborative project with the USC Center for Health Journalism, is looking for people who have purchased coverage through Covered California or if they’re still uninsured.

Our journalism is better, more nuanced and accurate when we hear from people in the community. Please fill out the survey below. A reporter for The Bee will contact you before publication if we want to use your story.
