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. [...] During the third year following the start of the pandemic, the number of people without health insurance continued to drop, reaching an all-time low in 2022. With pandemic-related coverage protections still in place and a strong job market, the coverage gains were driven by increases in employer, Medicaid, and non-group coverage for nonelderly adults. While the improvements in coverage were widespread, they were particularly large for American Indian and Alaska Native and Hispanic people (although these groups remain more likely than White people to be uninsured), those in low-income families, particularly people in poverty, and among people in working families, including those with only part-time workers in the family.
