In 2013, before Medicaid expansion went into effect, 40.2% of the Hispanic/Latino population, 24.4% of the Black population, and 14.5% of the white population were uninsured. By 2021, those numbers fell to 24.5%, 13.5%, and 8.2%, respectively.
“The data here really speaks to the impact of those expanded subsidies and how they’ve made coverage more affordable,” Baumgartner said. “Moving forward, the things we think policymakers should keep in mind is the extension of that past 2025 as definitely another option that this data highlights.
That could impact some of the recent progress on insurance coverage, particularly for Black and Latino families. “The bigger question is: What can states and the federal government do to minimize coverage loss and switch people who will inevitably be moved off Medicaid?” Baumgartner said. “It’s a clear, big risk to the progress that’s been made because clearly those policies, and the continuous enrollment policies, in particular, seem to have had a pretty big impact.”
