Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2018; Report number: P60-267
Across states, levels of health insurance coverage and changes across time may vary due to differences in demographic composition, economic conditions, and the policy environment. Several such policy changes occurred in 2014 when many provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) went into effect. This brief uses data from the 2013, 2017, and 2018 American Community Survey 1 year estimates (ACS) to examine health insurance coverage rates in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia and changes in coverage across years.
