There Are Fewer Uninsured Veterans Thanks To Obamacare

Because almost all of the elderly are insured by Medicare, most uninsured Americans are nonelderly (under age 65).

The good news, however, is that the rate of uninsured is down 4.69 percent in Florida since 2010. MA had the lowest, at 3.28 percent.

A new study from WalletHub shows that in 2014, 16.57 percent of Floridians were uninsured.

The finance site WalletHub used U.S Census Bureau data and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services information to look at changes in the rate of uninsured residents, by state, after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare”.

The EBRI report also sheds light on what types of workers were most likely to gain insurance through PPACA.

“The uninsured rate for higher-income households is 70 percent lower than that for lower-income households”, Gonzalez said.

In all, 543,098 people selected plans for 2016 on HealthCare.gov in the first week, which began November An unknown number signed up on the other 13 Obamacare exchanges run by individual states and the District of Columbia. The black unemployment rate was about 9.5 percent at the end of June 2015, while the Hispanic rate was 6.6 percent. Among all people, the uninsured rate dropped to 12 percent from 15.4 percent.

While Oklahoma has the fifth-highest overall uninsured rate in WalletHub’s analysis, it has the fourth-highest uninsured rate among low-income households and the fourth-largest gap between low- and high-income households. That ranks DE as the state with the fourteenth smallest disparity between low- and high-income uninsured residents. For example, Medicaid eligibility for adults remains limited in states that have not adopted the expansion, a few people remain ineligible for financial assistance for private coverage, and a few still find coverage unaffordable even with financial assistance.
