Adults without Health Insurance
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the percentage of adults aged 18-64 that do not have any kind of health insurance coverage.
Why is this important?
Medical costs in the United States are extremely high, so people without health insurance may not be able to afford medical treatment or prescription drugs. They are also less likely to get routine checkups and screenings, so if they do become ill they will not seek treatment until the condition is more advanced and therefore more difficult and costly to treat. Many small businesses are unable to offer health insurance to employees due to rising health insurance premiums.
