CDC: Slight decrease in uninsured Americans, increase in high-deductible plans in 2016
The number of uninsured dipped slightly from the previous year, according to a recently released report from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. Researchers analyzed data from the January to September 2016 National Health Interview Survey to estimate health insurance coverage for the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population. Being uninsured at the time of interview, at least part of the year prior to interview and for more than a year at the time of interview were estimates of lack of health insurance coverage.
