How Are You Handling Increased Health Insurance Premiums?


Listen Later

Californians have until January 31 to sign up for health insurance provided by Covered California, the state’s Obamacare plan. Because Congress let health care tax credits expire, the cost of insurance has radically increased for many customers, and some are opting out of health insurance altogether. We’ll hear how skyrocketing costs are affecting your healthcare decisions and take your questions.

Guests:

Jessica Altman, executive director, Covered California, the state health insurance exchange

Cynthia Cox, senior vice-president, KFF, an independent source for health policy research, polls and news - Cox is also the director of KFF's Affordable Care Act Program

Katelyn Jackson, executive director, Clinic by the Bay, a free medical clinic for uninsured patients
