Los Angeles County’s health care access disparities are similar to those seen statewide, yet its performance on most indicators is poor – with especially poor access to a usual source of care. While the ACA benefitted L.A. County more than many others – due to its size and high level of need – it continues to face many access barriers and challenges. Residents and leaders have taken the initiative, advocating for innovations such as a county safety net program offering comprehensive health care to impoverished residents regardless of immigration status via community health centers.
