Accordingg to USA’s commonwealth fund, an estimated 26 million Americans, or 8 percent of the U.S. population, lacked health insurance in 2023.1 While the United States still lags countries that have universal coverage, today’s uninsured rate represents a sea change from the years prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), when twice as many people — 49 million, or 16 percent of the population — lacked health coverage.2 This was also a time when people with preexisting conditions were out of luck when they sought to buy insurance on their own, when millions of young adults became uninsured when they graduated from high school or college, and when insurance companies in the individual market charged young women much higher premiums than young men and rarely covered maternity care.
