This is the first article in an in-depth series on the state of health insurance coverage in America. Future articles will explore trends in types of health insurance coverage and uninsured rates across states.
WASHINGTON, D.C. --
More American adults lacked health insurance coverage last year than in any year since Gallup and Healthways started tracking it in 2008. The uninsured rate has been increasing since 2008, climbing to 17.1% in 2011.
Most of the law isnt in effect. You wanted to point out that one of the few parts that went into effect has lowered the uninsured rate?
at least we're covering more "children" ages 18-26...good place to start or reinforce the road to government dependence
oh wait....we're actually forcing insurance companies to accept them as children so that they can stay on mommy and daddy's policy....
Young Adults Seem to Benefit From New Healthcare Law
U.S. adults aged 18 to 25 --
who are now allowed to stay on their parents' plans until age 26 because of a provision of the 2010 healthcare law -- are less likely to be uninsured than in previous years. The percentage of uninsured declined further in 2011 to 24.5%, from 27.6% in 2010 and 28.2% in 2009. Although this group is still among the most likely to be uninsured, it is
the only group Gallup tracks that has seen a significant decline in the percentage uninsured in 2011.
should have made it 36.....then the numbers would be really inmpressive
