California leads the nation in Affordable Care Act enrollment, but there are still millions in the state without health insurance.  Some of the people most likely to remain uninsured are undocumented Californians.  They can buy private insurance, but they are specifically excluded from getting coverage through health care reform.  I visited a group trying to fill some health care gaps. 
Despite the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, there are still millions of Californians living without health insurance, many of them because they're undocumented. While they can buy health insurance with their own money, they're specifically excluded from receiving any benefits under the ACA. That's leaving community groups and non-profits in cities and towns across California to fill in the gaps. - See more at: http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201406090850/a#sthash.rN08QA9n.dpuf
