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.

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2017 has played a role in decreasing the number of Americans with health insurance, because the individual mandate was repealed.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.

This statistic displays a projection of the number of less uninsured in the United States due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) from 2015 to 2025. By 2018, there will be some 26 million less uninsured nonelderly people due to the implementation of the ACA.

This dataset shows the statistics of United States uninsured persons with no health coverage under age 65 by selected characteristics. Data are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population.

This map shows where children have no health insurance coverage in the US. Children are defined as those under age 19. The map shows the percentage of all children who are uninsured, but also shows the total count of uninsured children. The map shows uninsured children by states, counties, and tracts, and the map can be customized and saved into a new map for anywhere in the US. The pattern can be seen throughout the US by searching for an area of interest. The data comes from the most current American Community Survey (ACS) estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. The metadata, vintage, and source information about the data layer used in this map can be found here. The data layer is updated automatically each year when the Census releases their new estimates, so this map always contains the newest data values.To find more US health-related layers and maps to use in your projects, visit the ArcGIS Living Atlas Health subcategory.

Internet Release Date: May 2016

Description: Model‐based Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) for Counties and States File Layout and Definitions

The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) program was created to develop model-based estimates of health insurance coverage for counties and states. This program builds on the work of the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. SAHIE is only source of single-year health insurance coverage estimates for all U.S. counties.

For 2008-2014, SAHIE publishes STATE and COUNTY estimates of population with and without health insurance coverage, along with measures of uncertainty, for the full cross-classification of:

•5 age categories: 0-64, 18-64, 21-64, 40-64, and 50-64

•3 sex categories: both sexes, male, and female

•6 income categories: all incomes, as well as income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) categories 0-138%, 0-200%, 0-250%, 0-400%, and 138-400% of the poverty threshold

•4 races/ethnicities (for states only): all races/ethnicities, White not Hispanic, Black not Hispanic, and Hispanic (any race).

In addition, estimates for age category 0-18 by the income categories listed above are published.

Each year’s estimates are adjusted so that, before rounding, the county estimates sum to their respective state totals and for key demographics the state estimates sum to the national ACS numbers insured and uninsured.

This program is partially funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC), National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection ProgramLink to a non-federal Web site (NBCCEDP). The CDC have a congressional mandate to provide screening services for breast and cervical cancer to low-income, uninsured, and underserved women through the NBCCEDP. Most state NBCCEDP programs define low-income as 200 or 250 percent of the poverty threshold. Also included are IPR categories relevant to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In 2014, the ACA will help families gain access to health care by allowing Medicaid to cover families with incomes less than or equal to 138 percent of the poverty line. Families with incomes above the level needed to qualify for Medicaid, but less than or equal to 400 percent of the poverty line can receive tax credits that will help them pay for health coverage in the new health insurance exchanges.

We welcome your feedback as we continue to research and improve our estimation methods. The SAHIE program's age model methodology and estimates have undergone internal U.S. Census Bureau review as well as external review. See the SAHIE Methodological Review page for more details and a summary of the comments and our response.

The SAHIE program models health insurance coverage by combining survey data from several sources, including:

•The American Community Survey (ACS)

•Demographic population estimates

•Aggregated federal tax returns

•Participation records for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp program

•County Business Patterns

•Medicaid

•Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) participation records

•Census 2010

Margin of error (MOE). Some ACS products provide

an MOE instead of confidence intervals. An MOE is the

difference between an estimate and its upper or lower

confidence bounds. Confidence bounds can be created

by adding the margin of error to the estimate (for the

upper bound) and subtracting the margin of error from

the estimate (for the lower bound). All published ACS

margins of error are based on a 90-percent confidence

level.

In 2022, around****** percent of the total population of the United States was uninsured. Texas was the state with the highest percentage of uninsured among its population, while Massachusetts reported the lowest share of uninsured This statistic presents the percentage of the total population in the United States without health insurance in 2022, by state.

This layer shows the percentage of people without health insurance in the U.S. by state and county, from American Community Survey 5-year estimates: 2011-2015 (Table GCT2701). The map switches from state data to county data as the map zooms in. The national average was 13.0%, down from approximately 20% in 2005.A person’s ability to access health services has a profound effect on every aspect of his or her health. Many Americans do not have a primary care provider (PCP) or health center where they can receive regular medical services. People without medical insurance are more likely to lack a usual source of medical care, such as a PCP, and are more likely to skip routine medical care due to costs, increasing their risk for serious and disabling health conditions. When they do access health services, they are often burdened with large medical bills and out-of-pocket expenses. Increasing access to both routine medical care and medical insurance are vital steps in improving the health of all Americans.

The American Community Survey (ACS) helps local officials, community leaders, and businesses understand the changes taking place in their communities. It is the premier source for detailed population and housing information about our nation. This dataset provides estimates by county for Health Insurance Coverage and is summarized from summary table S2701: SELECTED CHARACTERISTICS OF HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE IN THE UNITED STATES. The 5-year estimates are used to provide detail on every county in Pennsylvania and includes breakouts by Age, Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Household Income, and the Ratio of Income to Poverty.

An blank cell within the dataset indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute the statistic for that area.

Margin of error (MOE). Some ACS products provide an MOE instead of confidence intervals. An MOE is the difference between an estimate and its upper or lower confidence bounds. Confidence bounds can be created by adding the margin of error to the estimate (for the upper bound) and subtracting the margin of error from the estimate (for the lower bound). All published ACS margins of error are based on a 90-percent confidence level.

While an ACS 1-year estimate includes information collected over a 12-month period, an ACS 5-year estimate includes data collected over a 60-month period. In the case of ACS 1-year estimates, the period is the calendar year (e.g., the 2015 ACS covers the period from January 2015 through December 2015).

In the case of ACS multiyear estimates, the period is 5 calendar years (e.g., the 2011–2015 ACS estimates cover the period from January 2011 through December 2015). Therefore, ACS estimates based on data collected from 2011–2015 should not be labeled “2013,” even though that is the midpoint of the 5-year period.

Multiyear estimates should be labeled to indicate clearly the full period of time (e.g., “The child poverty rate in 2011–2015 was X percent.”). They do not describe any specific day, month, or year within that time period.
