Orange County residents voice concern about health care costs and the accessibility of health insurance. Making health care more affordable is the number one priority and making health insurance easier to get is the number six priority for county residents.
About one in four Orange County households struggle to maintain health insurance. 24% of the county’s households have someone who has not had continuous health insurance coverage and, therefore, has experienced a gap in that coverage at some time in the last year. 12% of all households have at least one member who is currently uninsured.
Many Orange County children are without health care coverage. 15% of households have at least one child who has experienced a gap in insurance over the past year, and 8% of households include a child who is uninsured right now.
