| Who Is Not Eligible For Covered California |
You’re Out If...
- You’re a Sneaky Immigrant: If you're not legally allowed to be here, tough luck on the healthcare front. Covered California is for folks who are lawfully present in California. It's like trying to get into an exclusive club without a membership – ain’t gonna happen.
- You’re Already Insured: If you’re already covered by another health plan (like through your job or Medicare), you can’t enroll in Covered California. It’s like trying to sit in two chairs at once – just doesn’t work.
- You’re Incarcerated: If you’re behind bars, you’re not eligible for Covered California. Prison healthcare is a whole different ball game.
- You’re a Foreign Diplomat: If you’re representing another country, you probably have your own healthcare hookup. Covered California isn’t for the diplomatic set.
A Few Exceptions to the Rule
Now, before you pack your bags and move to another state, there are a few exceptions.

- Mixed-Status Families: If you’re part of a family with some members who are lawfully present and others who aren’t, the lawfully present members can still apply for Covered California. It’s like bringing a plus-one to a party – only your plus-one isn’t allowed to dance.
- Medi-Cal Eligibility: Even if you’re not eligible for Covered California, you might qualify for Medi-Cal. So don’t give up hope just yet! It’s like being waitlisted for a concert, but then getting a last-minute ticket.
