Who Went Without Health Insurance in 2019, and Why?

Congressional Budget Office

No 56504, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: CBO estimates that at any given point in 2019, about 12 percent of the population under age 65, or 30 million people, were uninsured— that is, they were not enrolled in a private health insur¬ance plan or a government health program that provides comprehensive major medical coverage. Examining that uninsured population in 2019 reveals groups that were often not reached by current federal programs, subsi¬dies, and other sources of coverage even during a strong economy with historically low unemployment.
