No major survey has ever found that the uninsured rate in America has hit single digits. Ever.
But a new survey from the Urban Institute’s Health Reform Monitoring Survey, a quarterly survey of non-elderly Americans, says that 10.0% of nonelderly adults were uninsured. That’s down from 17.8% in September 2013, before the Affordable Care Act’s insurance exchanges first launched.
And in fact, that data is only as recent as March 2015, so we are probably in the single digits now.
Let’s hope SCOTUS doesn’t screw things up now.
