- The percentage of non-elderly adults ages 18-64, uninsured for the entire calendar year ("the uninsured rate") declined from 18.8 percent (35.6 million adults) to 14.4 percent (27.4 million adults) between 2013 and 2014.
- The uninsured rate declined between 2013 and 2014 for adults ages 18-35, 36-54, and 55-64 in both Medicaid expansion and non-expansion states. In states that expanded Medicaid, the decline was larger for adults ages 18-35, than for adults ages 55-64, narrowing the percentage point difference in the uninsured rates between these two age groups in 2014.
- Uninsured rates declined between 2013 and 2014 for Hispanic, white, black and Asian non-elderly adults ages 18-64. The percentage point difference in the uninsured rates for Hispanic non-elderly adults and white non-Hispanic adults decreased between 2013 and 2014, overall and in Medicaid expansion states.
