Voluntary health insurance coverage in California, 1952 to 1963.

More than seven out of every ten of an estimated civilian population of 17.3 million people in California were covered under some form of voluntary health insurance at the close of 1963. Between 1952 and 1963, the number of Californians covered for hospital expenses increased from 5.7 million to 12.3 million; for surgical expenses from 5.4 million to 11.6 million; and for regular medical expenses from 3.0 million to 10.1 million. THE PERCENTAGE COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE ALSO ROSE SIGNIFICANTLY: for hospitalization, from 51.3 to 71.0 per cent; for surgical, from 48.2 to 67.1 per cent; and for regular medical from 27.2 to 57.9 per cent. The rate of increase in hospitalization coverage was slightly higher in California than in the total U.S.; however, the per cent of persons covered remains lower. For surgical coverage, both the rate of increase and the per cent covered are lower in California. For regular medical, growth rates in California and in the U.S. were similar, however the over-all per cent covered is significantly higher in California. Major medical coverage, which has shown the fastest growth rate, covered only 0.4 per cent of the U.S. population in 1952 and 17.1 per cent by the end of 1963. Comparable figures for California are not available.
