"People are scared. The biggest thing that I hear is fear and trepidation about what the future is going to hold for them," Assemblymember Dawn Addis, D-San Luis Obispo, and chair of the Budget Subcommittee on Health, told The Center Square. "There's a lot of fear where people are starting to think about if they're going to need a second or third job. Are they going to have to cut back on other basic needs?"

Much of that worry is centered on expiring health insurance subsidies, Addis said.
