33 Million Americans Still Don’t Have Health Insurance

FiveThirtyEights break down the fact that 33 Million Americans Still Don’t Have Health Insurance "It isn’t a surprise that some Americans still don’t have health insurance. Despite aiming to insure ‘everybody’ in the U.S., the Affordable Care Act (ACA) left significant gaps in coverage, and decisions made by the law’s opponents have denied benefits to millions of people it was designed to help. But the new numbers reveal that most of the uninsured last year were people who should have been able to access insurance under the law. That presents a major challenge for President Obama in the final years of his term, but also an opportunity: Millions of Americans qualify for coverage but, for whatever combination of reasons, haven’t yet signed up."
