About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

National Uninsured Rate Falls to Lowest Level in US History

New data from a CDC Survey show the effects of the ACA (Obamacare) two years into the law's implementation. The survey shows a historically low US uninsured rate, 9%, and California's rate is even lower, at 8.6%. An article from "CoveredCA.com" attributes this to the state's embrace of the ACA. I have included their article below, which highlights more briefly the CDC's findings:
