I wonder if Kentucky Governor elect Matt Bevin has heard - "There’s evidence that being insured may even cut down on your risk of death"
Thanks, Obamacare: America's Uninsured Rate Is Now Lowest Ever
Nov 5, 2015
In June 2010, about 16% of Americans were uninsured.
The new data comes from the National Health Interview Survey, which the CDC and the Census Bureau have been conducting for more than 50 years. The questions have changed over the years, but the answers were always the same: More than 10% of respondents, and sometimes as many as 18% of Americans, have reported that they’ve been uninsured.
Not anymore. This is the second straight survey to find that America’s uninsured rate is now in the single digits. More than 20 million previously uninsured Americans have gained coverage in the past five years.
And every new survey makes the connection to the Affordable Care Act even more obvious. You can see America’s uninsured rate significantly decline in 2014, when Obamacare’s coverage expansion programs began to kick in.
