evidence: Throughout the coronavirus the pandemic, the coverage expansions put in place by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including Medicaid expansion and subsidized Marketplace coverage, served as a safety net for people who lost jobs or faced other economic and coverage disruptions. Building on that foundation, pandemic-era policies, including continuous enrollment for Medicaid enrollees and enhanced Marketplace subsidies, further protected people with low income against coverage losses and improved the affordability of private coverage. As a result, in 2022, the number of nonelderly uninsured individuals continued a downward trend, dropping by nearly 1.9 million from 27.5 million in 2021 to 25.6 million in 2022, and the uninsured rate decreased from 10.2% in 2021 to a record low 9.6% in 2022. [...] With the economy rebounding and pandemic-era Medicaid protections and enhanced Marketplace subsides in place, the uninsured rate continued to drop in 2022, driven largely by increases in coverage among nonelderly adults. Coverage gains were larger among nonelderly American Indian and Alaska Native and Hispanic people compared to their White counterparts and among low-income individuals and those in working families versus those at higher incomes and those without a worker in the family.
