HHS sees more typically uninsured Americans secure coverage

More Americans in key demographics that have been historically uninsured saw coverage gains from 2019 through 2021, a new federal report finds, reports Fierce Healthcare. The Department of Health and Human Services’s report attributed a decline in the uninsured rate from 11.1% in 2019 to 10.5% in 2021 due to expansions in Medicaid and other gains via the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace.
