More Californians are dropping their health insurance as costs rise.

According to the Covered California Executive Director’s Report, more than 370,00 people have canceled coverage through Covered California in just the first three months of 2026.



Officials say the main driver is higher monthly premiums, along with the end of expanded federal subsidies that had been helping keep costs down for many middle-class families.

State officials say they expect more cancellations ahead if costs keep rising, though California is also looking at new funding options to help offset premiums.
