Most uninsured young adults, or "invincibles," believe that they need health insurance.Just two in 10 (22.1%) of uninsured adults ages 18 to 64 believe they are "healthy enough" to go without health insurance.
The number of insurers that offer nongroup plans to consumers on state-run health insurance exchanges will be larger than the current number of carriers, according to analysis by RWJF’s State Health Reform Assistance Network.
A recent analysis of employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) coverage provides a baseline to facilitate monitoring Affordable Care Act expansions of public and private coverage in 2014. This study from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) found that health insurance coverage from ESI “eroded substantially” from 1999/2000 to 2010/2011 (study period).
