Young adult uninsured rate down from 2011 to 2018
An Urban Institute report found the uninsured rate among adults
ages 19 to 25 dropped from 30% to 16% between 2011 and 2018, largely due to the
expansion of Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Data shows
Medicaid enrollment for the age group climbed 11% to 15% during the period, and
researchers estimate that Medicaid expansion was associated with a 3.6% drop in
the overall number of young people without health insurance.
