The share of Americans with health insurance just dropped for the first time since the Great Recession.
The share of people with health insurance fell last year for the first time since the Great Recession, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Researchers said government programs like Medicaid and Medicare are regarded as public coverage. Plans purchased through the federal marketplace established by the 2010 Affordable Care Act counted as private coverage, the report added. Children from middle-class families experienced the biggest drop in health coverage: 2.6% of children from families making 400% above the poverty line — about $100,000 per year — lacked insurance last year, up 0.7% on the year.
One possible reason for the increase is that people are making too much money in new jobs to be eligible for Medicaid, but aren’t getting health insurance through their employer, Garfield said.
