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.

The Affordable Care Act The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2014, has significantly reduced the number of uninsured people in the United States. In 2014, the percentage of U.S. individuals with health insurance increased to almost ** percent. Furthermore, the percentage of people without health insurance reached an all time low in 2022.

In 2023, approximately ******** percent of the Hispanic population in the United States did not have health insurance, a historical low since 2010. In 2023, the national average was *** percent. White Americans had a below-average rate of just *** percent, whereas *** percent of Black Americans had no health insurance.Impact of the Affordable Care ActThe Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was enacted in March 2010, which expanded the Medicaid program, made affordable health insurance available to more people and aimed to lower health care costs by supporting innovative medical care delivery methods. Though it was enacted in 2010, the full effects of it weren’t seen until 2013, when government-run insurance marketplaces such as HealthCare.gov were opened. The number of Americans without health insurance fell significantly between 2010 and 2015, but began to rise again after 2016. What caused the change?The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 has played a role in decreasing the number of Americans with health insurance, because the individual mandate was repealed. The aim of the individual mandate (part of the ACA) was to ensure that all Americans had health coverage and thus spread the costs over the young, old, sick and healthy by imposing a large tax fine on those without coverage.

In 2023, 25 million people in the United States had no health insurance. The share of Americans without health insurance saw a steady increase from 2015 to 2019 before starting to decline in 2020 to 2023. Factors like the implementation of Medicaid expansion in additional states and growth in private health insurance coverage led to the decline in uninsured population, despite the economic challenges due to the pandemic in 2020. Positive impact of Affordable Care Act In the U.S. there are public and private forms of health insurance, as well as social welfare programs such as Medicaid and programs just for veterans such as CHAMPVA. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010, which dramatically reduced the share of uninsured Americans, though there’s still room for improvement. In spite of its success in providing more Americans with health insurance, ACA has had an almost equal number of proponents and opponents since its introduction, though the share of Americans in favor of it has risen since mid-2017 to the majority. Persistent disparity among ethnic groups The share of uninsured people is higher in certain demographic groups. For instance, Hispanics continue to be the ethnic group with the highest rate of uninsured people, even after ACA. Meanwhile the share of uninsured White and Asian people is lower than the national average.

Sums may add to more than the total, as people can be in multiple race groups (for example, Hispanic and Black).

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).

Click here to learn more about ACS data releases and click here for the associated boundaries layer. The reason this data is 5+ years different from the most recent vintage is due to the overlapping of survey years.

Boundary vintage (2014) appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters).

Medicare is an important public health insurance scheme for U.S. adults aged 65 years and over. As of 2023, an estimated 18.9 percent of the U.S. population was covered by Medicare, an increase from the previous year. As of 2021, California, Florida, and Texas had the largest number of adults aged 65 years and older. The Medicare program Medicare has two primary parts: Medicare Part A covers hospital care and Medicare Part B covers medical and preventative services. Both parts of Medicare are available to those aged 65 years and older under certain conditions. Medicare premiums are variable and depend on the enrollee’s income. Despite a majority of the Medicare enrollees being above the federal poverty line, there are still several programs in place to help cover the costs of healthcare for the elderly. Opinions on elderly care in the U.S. It is estimated that about 23 percent of Medicare enrollees are in fair/poor health. But there are lots of questions about who should pay for or help with elderly care long-term. In a recent survey of U.S. adults, about half of the respondents said that health insurance companies should pay for elderly care. However, a majority of adults also supported a long-term government sponsored health plan like Medicaid. The issue is still hotly debated and politicized in the United States.

The North America Individual Health Insurance Market size was valued at USD 1,696.0 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD XXX billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.1 % during the forecasts period. Individual health insurance is a type of coverage that a person purchases independently, rather than through an employer or a government program. It is tailored to cover the policyholder's healthcare costs, including expenses incurred due to illness, injury, or accidents. The policyholder pays premiums, either monthly or annually, for a specified term, during which the insurer agrees to cover eligible medical costs. This can include hospitalization, treatments for critical illnesses, and expenses arising from accidental injuries. The benefits of individual health insurance are manifold. It provides financial protection against the rising costs of healthcare, ensuring that individuals do not have to deplete their savings to pay for medical treatments. Moreover, it often includes additional perks like cashless treatment at network hospitals, where the insurer settles bills directly, or reimbursement for expenses paid out-of-pocket.

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.

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 2023 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT or Department) has identified processed, authoritative datasets to support the preliminary spatial analysis of equity considerations. These processed datasets are available at larger geographies, such as the United States Census Bureau tract or county-level; however, additional raw datasets from other sources can be used to identify equity considerations. Most of this raw data is available at the Census block group, parcel, or point-level—but additional processing is required to make suitable for spatial analysis. For more information, contact Dana Reiding with the FDOT Forecasting and Trends Office (FTO). The American Community Survey (ACS) Health Insurance Coverage Variables – Boundaries layer is identified to support the equity community indicator of health. This layer contains the most current release of data from the ACS about health insurance coverage by type and by age group. These are 5-year estimates shown by tract, county, and state boundaries.
