500,000 Californians lost health insurance, report says

About 500,000 working-age Californians have lost health insurance since the start of the recession, and an additional 600,000 could lose theirs by 2012 even if the economy fully recovers, according to a UC Berkeley report. The report estimated that between November 2007 and February of this year, about 3.7 million more American adults became uninsured.
