Census: Uninsurance rate unchanged in 2023
The uninsurance rate for Americans was 8% in 2023, unchanged from the previous year, according to Current Population Reports data released Sept. 10 by the Census Bureau. Fewer people are receiving health care coverage from employer-sponsored insurance, and more are enrolled in coverage from federal and state-based marketplaces, TRICARE and Medicare instead, according to the report. The report also found that individuals aged 19-25 maintained the highest uninsurance rate at 14.5%, unchanged from 2022, and were followed by those aged 26-34 at 12.6%, children under 19 at 5.8% and adults aged 65 and older at 0.9%.
