Uninsured U.S. children distribution and rate by Medicaid expansion status 2020
In 2020, just over half of all uninsured children lived in states that had not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) despite the fact that only 35.2 percent of U.S. children lived in a non-expansion state. Moreover, the uninsured rate of these children was twice as high as those living in states that had expanded Medicaid. This statistic depicts the distribution and rate of children without health insurance in the U.S. in 2020, by state Medicaid expansion status.
