NASHP Breaks Down Uninsured Rates by State

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has done a new breakdown showing the uninsured rates by state from 2013 and 2014 and the difference in the rates for those two years. Of course the significance of 2013 and 2014 is the opening of the ACA Marketplaces and the coverage they offered as of January 1, 2014. NASHP used data from the Census Bureau to do the state-by-state breakdown. The states with the 5 biggest reductions in their uninsured rates were Kentucky, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Oregon and Washington.
