The proportion of Americans without health insurance remained stable in 2023, around 8%, despite the purge of millions from Medicaid due to the unwinding.
Leighton Ku noted that we are likely at a turning point, indicating a transition to a tougher period regarding health insurance coverage due to the Medicaid unwinding.
Over 25 million people have been disenrolled from Medicaid as the program unwinding was completed in most states, affecting overall insurance statistics.
The Census Bureau’s methodology may skew health insurance figures, as they only consider individuals uninsured for the entire year, missing those recently disenrolled.
