Growth of managed care in California

The number and characteristics of people in California who have been certified eligible for Medi-Cal is changing dramatically over the last several years. Here's some data I extracted from the following dataset: Statewide Medi-Cal Certified Eligible Individuals, by Aid Code, 2013 - 2015.

It would be interesting to dig deeper to understand the basis of this change (is this a true change, or just a change in definitions?).
