    • Description:
      Objectives—This report presents state, regional, and national estimates of the percentage of people who were uninsured, had private health insurance coverage, and had public health insurance coverage at the time of the interview.

      Methods—Data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey were used to estimate health insurance coverage. Estimates were categorized by age group, state Medicaid expansion status, urbanization level, expanded region, and state. Estimates by state Medicaid expansion status, urbanization level, and expanded region were based on data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. State estimates are shown for 32 states and the District of Columbia for people younger than age 65 and adults ages 18–64, and 27 states for children.

      Results—In 2022, among people younger than age 65, 10.2% were uninsured, 64.0% had private coverage, and 28.2% had public coverage at the time of the interview. Among adults ages 18–64, the percentage who were uninsured ranged from 10.1% for those living in large fringe (suburban) metropolitan counties to 13.9% for both those living in nonmetropolitan counties and large central metropolitan counties. Adults ages 18–64 living in non-Medicaid expansion states were twice as likely to be uninsured (19.6%) compared with those living in Medicaid expansion states (9.1%). A similar pattern was observed among children ages 0–17 years. The percentage of adults ages 18–64 who were uninsured was significantly higher than the national average (12.4%) in Florida (17.9%), Georgia (21.2%), Tennessee (21.6%), and Texas (27.0%), and significantly lower than the national average in Maryland (7.0%), Massachusetts (3.0%), Michigan (6.5%), New York (5.6%), Ohio (8.6%), Pennsylvania (7.2%), Virginia (8.5%), Washington (7.3%), and Wisconsin (7.0%). The percentage of people younger than age 65 who were uninsured was lowest in the New England region (3.5%).
