The Remaining Uninsured

As part of the 2014 California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowship, a program of USC’s Annenberg School for Journalism and Communication.   I'm producing a series of pieces about Californians who remain uninsured after the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act. 

The first is this piece which ran Wednesday, April 16th on The California Report:

California leads the nation in the number of people getting insurance through the Affordable Care Act. But now that the final deadline has come and gone on Tuesday, millions are still left uninsured. These people will still turn to community clinics and public hospitals for care — they are the safety net institutions that serve Californians with nowhere else to go. But as the ACA is implemented, those institutions are facing changes.

Anza Borrego: Drought Takes Toll on Park Renowned for Wildflowers

Aired on The California Report Magazine March 28th, 2014

San Diego County's Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is famous for its amazing wildflowers. But this is the third year in a row of drier-than-usual weather at Anza-Borrego and wildflowers are scarce. As Lisa Morehouse reports, that's creating some anxiety and a few opportunities for those who live near -- and love -- California's biggest state park. - See more at: http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201403281630/c#sthash.57gpaHdJ.dpuf
 Yes, it's in the desert, but Anza Borrego is best known for its amazing wildflowers.  I visited California's largest state park to learn how three years of dry weather are impacting the bloom, visitation, and the economy (and to find out if there's a silver lining).
