Summary

Starting July 1 2027, the Covered California exchange must automatically enroll individuals who lose Medicaid‑like coverage into the lowest‑cost silver plan, the plan used by other household members, a low‑cost plan for eligible American Indians, or their prior managed‑care plan. The law also sets uniform enrollment windows, premium‑due dates, and notice requirements, and it clarifies that local agencies won’t be reimbursed for any costs the act creates.
