Despite Health Reform, 32.3 Million Are Uninsured

Fox Business reports:

A full 32.3 million non-elderly people do not have health insurance despite the costly health reform act and the individual mandate tax penalty, new analysis shows.

Nearly half of the 32.3 million uninsured, or 15.7 million, are still not getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid, new state-by-state analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation reveals. More than a quarter of the uninsured are either eligible adults or children.

While “millions of people have enrolled in these new coverage options,” Kaiser found “millions of others are still uninsured.” The findings indicate that hospitals will continue to be under pressure from the uninsured. The analysis, based on government data, found that as of early 2015, Texas, California, and Florida had the most uninsured, in that order.

Imagine that.
