Number Of Uninsured Americans Rises For First Time Since 2009

In 2018, the number of uninsured Americans rose for the first time in nearly a decade, with 27.5 million people lacking health insurance. This increase coincided with a plateau in median household income, despite previous steady growth. However, there were positive economic signs, such as a decrease in the poverty rate and an increase in full-time workers. Despite these improvements, the number of people with private health insurance remained unchanged. These economic trends have significant political implications, particularly concerning the Affordable Care Act, as debates continue between Republicans and Democrats.
