National Uninsured Rate Reaches an All-Time Low in Early 2023

This Data Point examines new National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data to assess recent changes in health coverage for the population. The most recent data finds that the national uninsured rate for all ages declined 1.9% from 2019 to 2022, with early 2023 data showing even greater decreases reaching an all-time low national uninsured rate of 7.7%. This reduction in the uninsured rate reflects 6.3 million people gaining coverage since 2020. The Data Point also examines data from the American Community Survey to assess state level coverage changes.
