claim: “We have 85 million Americans who have no health insurance.”
evidence: The Commonwealth Fund, a respected source of data on health care research, found in 2022 that 43% percent of working-age adults ages 19 to 64 were uninsured or inadequately insured. That adds up to about 85 million adults. About 17.7 million adults were uninsured, according to the Commonwealth analysis. People who were uninsured for a year or longer were disproportionately young, Hispanic, poor, unhealthy and living in the South.
