ISSUE: Given uncertainty about the future of the Affordable Care Act, it is useful to examine the progress in coverage and access made under the law.
GOAL: Compare state trends in access to affordable health care between 2013 and 2016.
METHODS: Analysis of recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: Between 2013 and 2016, the uninsured rate for adults ages 19 to 64 declined in all states and the District of Columbia, and fell by at least 5 percentage points in 47 states. Among children, uninsured rates declined by at least 2 percentage points in 33 states. There were reductions of at least 2 percentage points in the share of adults age 18 and older who reported skipping care because of costs in the past year in 36 states and D.C., with greater declines, on average, in Medicaid expansion states. The share of at-risk adults without a recent routine checkup, and of nonelderly individuals who spent a high portion of income on medical care, declined in at least of half of states and D.C. These findings offer evidence that the ACA has improved access to health care for millions of Americans. However, actions at the federal level — including a shortened open enrollment period for marketplace coverage, a failure to extend CHIP funding, and a potential repeal of the individual mandate’s penalties — could jeopardize the gains made to date.
