Rate of Uninsured Hits New Low as More Americans Get Health Coverage

















A new study shows more Americans have health insurance than ever before.
According to the latest quarterly Gallup poll, the rate of uninsured adults is down to 11.4 percent.
That number represents an almost 5-percent drop since the Affordable Care Act mandate took effect at the start of 2014, when an estimated 16% of Americans over 18 years old were not covered.
In a study released last month by the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than a half million adults reported “significant” improvements in affordable health insurance, access to doctors and medications since the last two annual open enrollment sessions.
