The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released a report indicating that more Americans will be covered by health insurance in 2023 than in 2019. The report, which was released on April 26th, found that the number of Americans without health insurance coverage has decreased from 13.7% in 2019 to 11.7% in 2023. This is a significant drop in the uninsured rate and provides more Americans with access to quality healthcare.
The report also found that the number of people with employer-sponsored health insurance coverage has increased from 55.6% in 2019 to 57.2% in 2023. Additionally, the number of people with Medicaid coverage has increased from 19.8% to 22.7% over the same period. This indicates that more Americans are taking advantage of the Affordable Care Act’s expansion of Medicaid and other insurance options.
The CDC report also found that the number of people with private health insurance has increased from 20.8% in 2019 to 24.2% in 2023.

The report also found that the number of people with public health insurance coverage, such as Medicare, has increased from 15.4% in 2019 to 17.3% in 2023.
