Democratic lawmakers press Newsom to spend millions from health insurance fines
When Gov. Gavin Newsom took office four years ago, the Democrats went after Republicans on the national stage as they sought to gut the Affordable Care Act. Key to his ambitious healthcare agenda: reinstating the fine on Californians who don’t have health coverage, which had been eliminated at the federal level.
It was a tough sell for a new governor, and Newsom needed strong allies among state Democratic leaders, who at the time, in 2019, voiced concern about essentially levying a new tax on Californians unable to afford the rising cost of healthcare. Democrats, who, then as now, controlled the…
Broker warns rise in claims could trigger further hikes by health insurer
Further financial pressure is being heaped on hard-pressed families with the news that another health insurer has hiked its prices.

How do Americans in France register for public health insurance?
Reader question: How does an American apply for health insurance when moving to France?
As a resident of France, having health insurance, either private or public, is mandatory.
If you are employed by a French company and pay social contributions, you will automatically be eligible for (public) health insurance even if your social security contributions are on the job, and your employer should deal with this.

However, if you are moving as a retiree or early-retiree, then part of your visa requirements will show you have a private health insurance…
Uninsured Rate Hits Record Low of 8.3%
WASHINGTON — The uninsured rate in the US has fallen to a record-low 8.3%, but that percentage is expected to gradually increase as insurance protections from the COVID-19 pandemic wind down, according to officials from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) .
The temporary policies enacted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic “have contributed to a record low insurance rate in 2023 of 8.3% and record-high enrollment in both Medicaid and ACA [Affordable Care Act] marketplace coverage,” said Caroline Hanson, PhD, principal analyst at the CBO, during a briefing sponsored by Health Affairs. “As those temporary policies expire under current…

Tips on planning for dental costs if you don’t have coverage
A freelance photographer living in downtown Toronto, Armin Fares is living his dream. The 32-year-old says he worked hard to be his own boss and set his own schedule.
But while working for himself offers independence, what he doesn’t offer is access to dental coverage.
“I don’t have access to health benefits like you would work for a company,” Fares says. “I often fear getting some sort of dental issue like a cavity or a root canal because it’s so expensive to fix and could leave me financially vulnerable.”
Fares says he has an emergency fund for unexpected health expenses,…
