Health Insurance

  • Throughout the year, 92.1 percent, or 304.0 million people, were insured, marking a rise from the previous year’s 91.7 percent or 300.9 million.
  • Additionally, the uninsured rate among working-age adults (aged 19 to 64) decreased by 0.8 percentage points to 10.8 percent during the same period, partly due to a decline in uninsured rates among workers.

  • Among the different types of health insurance,
    • employment-based insurance was the most prevalent, covering 54.5 percent of the population,
