In 2023, eight percent of the total population of the United States were uninsured. However, half of all individuals in the United States had employer-sponsored health coverage. This statistic depicts the distribution of health insurance status of the total population in the United States for 2023

In 2020, around 66.5 percent of the U.S. population had private health insurance coverage. This share slightly decreased to 65.4 percent in 2023. Medicare and Medicaid together provided healthcare coverage to approximately 38 percent of the population in the United States. U.S. population with and without health insurance In 2022, over half of the U.S. population had health insurance coverage through their place of employment, around 54.5 percent. Approximately 35 percent had coverage through some form of government plan in the same year. While still low, the U.S. population without health insurance has decreased slightly from the previous year. A large portion of those without health insurance are between 19 and 25 years of age. Approximately 15 percent of adults in this age group did not have health insurance in 2021. Health expenditure The United States spent approximately 12,555 U.S. dollars per capita on health in 2022 while in comparison, the Canadian government expended some 6,319 U.S. dollars per capita in the same year. However, higher health spending did not equate to a better health system or outcomes and when ranked with other comparable high-income countries, the U.S. came in last on nearly all health performance categories from access of care to health outcomes.

This layer shows health insurance coverage by type and by age group. This is shown by tract, county, and state boundaries. This service is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. This layer is symbolized to show the percent uninsured.

The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December.

Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines erased for cartographic and mapping purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2020 Areal Hydrography boundaries offered by TIGER. Water bodies and rivers which are 50 million square meters or larger (mid to large sized water bodies) are erased from the tract level boundaries, as well as additional important features. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 2022 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. These are erased to more accurately portray the coastlines and Great Lakes. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters).The States layer contains 52 records - all US states, Washington D.C., and Puerto RicoCensus tracts with no population that occur in areas of water, such as oceans, are removed from this data service (Census Tracts beginning with 99).Percentages and derived counts, and associated margins of error, are calculated values (that can be identified by the "_calc_" stub in the field name), and abide by the specifications defined by the American Community Survey.Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page.Negative values (e.g., -4444...) have been set to null, with the exception of -5555... which has been set to zero. These negative values exist in the raw API data to indicate the following situations:The margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error.

As of 2023, nearly *** million people in the United States had some kind of health insurance, a significant increase from around *** million insured people in 2010. However, as of 2023, there were still approximately ** million people in the United States without any kind of health insurance. Insurance coverage The United States does not have universal health insurance, and so health care cost is mostly covered through different private and public insurance programs. In 2021, almost ** percent of the insured population of the United States were insured through employers, while **** percent of people were insured through Medicaid, and **** percent of people through Medicare. As of 2022, about *** percent of people were uninsured in the U.S., compared to ** percent in 2010. The Affordable Care Act The Affordable Care Act (ACA) significantly reduced the number of uninsured people in the United States, from **** million uninsured people in 2013 to **** million people in 2015. However, since the repeal of the individual mandate the number of people without health insurance has risen. Healthcare reform in the United States remains an ongoing political issue with public opinion on a Medicare-for-all plan consistently divided.
