Updated Primer Provides Key Facts About Health Insurance and the
Uninsured in the U.S.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) helped produce
significant increases in health coverage, with millions of people becoming
newly insured and the uninsured rate dropping to a historic low in recent
years. However, for the first time since implementation of the law, the
number of people without coverage increased by half a million people in 2017,
to 27.4 million.
Our updated The
Uninsured and the ACA: A Primer, our most comprehensive
resource on the subject, provides information on how insurance has changed
under the ACA, how many people remain uninsured, who they are, and why they
lack health coverage. It also summarizes what we know about the impact that a
lack of insurance can have on health outcomes and personal finances and the
difference health insurance can make in people’s lives. Finally, the primer
has a set of supplemental tables with detailed data on health coverage of the
population, including breakouts by age, gender, education, income levels,
race and ethnicity, citizenship, health status and family work status.

Francisco, California.
