There actually are some articles that focus on people. They just seem quite a bit harder to find than the stories that are mostly talking about numbers. It is at least a little bit encouraging to see some media interest in these stories...
From Susan Abram:
"Jackson James, 29, of North Hollywood, said he enrolled almost three months ago and his coverage has yet to begin. He keeps receiving mixed messages about his Medi-Cal status, he said, and telephone and online chats with Covered California and Medi-Cal have yielded no answers.
'It’s unbelievable,' said the freelance camera operator. 'I did what I was supposed to do, which was to get insured.'
James said he carried a catastrophic insurance plan before, but he let that lapse after he was certain he had enrolled through Covered California. After meeting with a counselor Friday, he said the issue had yet to be resolved.
'I was told to call her Monday,' he said. 'I just kind of feel pinned down by the whole thing.'”
