    Objectives-This report presents national estimates of different types of health insurance coverage and lack of coverage (uninsured). Estimates are presented by selected sociodemographic characteristics, including age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, family income, education level, employment status, and marital status. Methods-Data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey were used to estimate health insurance coverage. Estimates were categorized by selected sociodemographic characteristics. Additionally, those who were uninsured were categorized by length of time since they had coverage, private coverage was further classified by source of plan, and public coverage was categorized by type of public plan. Results-In 2022, 28.1 million (8.6%) people of all ages were uninsured at the time of the interview. This includes 27.7 million (10.2%) people younger than age 65. Among children, 3.0 million (4.2%) were uninsured, and among working-age adults (ages 18-64), 24.7 million (12.4%) were uninsured. Among people younger than age 65, 64.0% were covered by private health insurance, including 56.0% with employment-based coverage and 6.8% with directly purchased coverage. Moreover, 4.5% were covered by exchange-based coverage, a type of directly purchased coverage. Among people younger than age 65, about two in five children and one in five adults ages 18-64 had public health coverage, mainly Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Among adults age 65 and older, the percentage who were covered by private health insurance (with or without Medicare), Medicare Advantage, and traditional Medicare only varied by age, family income, education level, and race and Hispanic origin.
