Al, you may be interested in this article. If you have the time, read it in its entirety before reading my comments below:

Obamacare: Medi-Cal a waiting game for many low-income Californians

First of all, I'm surprised that the number of Californians on Medi-Cal is projected to be 12.2M by the middle of next year. That's almost a third of Californians.

Secondly, neither the state nor the federal government accounted for the lack of primary care physicians (PCP) that would inevitably happen as a result of Medi-Cal enrollees drastically increasing. Most government officials are expressing a "wait and see" attitude, which to me is putting their heads in the sand.

Third, the number of emergency room visits went up by a lot thanks to ObamaCare. This is directly attributed to the shortage in PCPs, but it also contradicts the whole "emergency room care" myth that liberals pushed when claiming that ObamaCare would save costs.

Finally, the reaction from that one 48-year-old near the end of the article is exactly the reaction liberals are hoping for. "Sure, wait times are long, but it's better than having no insurance." Yes, but it's far from the promised land that universal health care advocates are portraying.
