Abstract:
Annually since 2019, the California Health Care Foundation has conducted a survey of residents’ views on a variety of health care topics, some of which are tracked over time to detect meaningful differences in public opinion. For the first time in 2021, residents were asked whether or not they have a “regular primary care provider.” More than 8 in 10 Californians (85%) report having a regular primary care provider (PCP), while 13% say they do not. This report provides examples of the benefits of having a PCP as reported by residents with insurance. It demonstrates significant differences between Californians who have a PCP and those that do not across topics related to health care utilization, experience, affordability, and behaviors. See the full report of findings from the California Health Policy Survey.
