The risk of losing health insurance in the United States is large, and remained so after the Affordable Care Act

Liran Einav et al.

Summary: Health insurance coverage in the United States is uncertain and unstable. Even with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a significant number of people remain uninsured at some point over a 2-year period. The risk of losing insurance is higher for those with Medicaid or private exchange coverage compared to those with employer-provided coverage. It is important to focus on both the percentage of uninsured individuals at a specific time and the stability and certainty of insurance coverage.
