Let us hope so since more are getting insured every enrollment period but that won’t stop the GOP for voting another 50 times this year to repeal it

Beat me to it. Its all to the good these percentages, ergo we will never hear about it on the news as a direct result of implementing the PPACA in this country. Our so called “liberal media” can’t bring themselves to cover these kinds of details, let alone explain the fucking law in the first place for the public.

That many more people who ought to pretty angry if SCOTUS guts it. They ought to be Democrats by now.
Why did the rate of uninsured in medicaid expansion states go up in the last quarter? Temporary glitch? Change in rules? Bad weather?

The unexpanded states best is about the expanded states worse. Obama wins again and so does mild socialism.

Good question here…
In addition to your possible reasons, another possible reason is that the income may have risen to above the 139 poverty level of families previously on Medicaid thereby requiring a move into a Market Place plan with subsidies that would not take effect until the first quarter of this (2015) year. That’s only speculation on my part.
Locking hard statistics in a fluid and dynamic program like this is like catching mercury in moving boxcar.
BTW … Nice cat.

The percentage of uninsured Americans has fallen from 13.9 percent to 10.2 percent since Obamacare coverage took effect, according to new data from the Urban Institute.
That is not what the chart says. It clearly says “working adults” not “americans”.

Wow imagine that. Make insurance mandatory and affordable and people will get it. What’s next vaccinations…yea right!
does anyone have the raw numbers (approximates are okay) for this data? How many fewer people are uninsured now in each of these categories?
I cam here to ask that exact question too. The other thing that occurred to me was that more states have been approving the Medicaid expansion, right?
So perhaps the grouping “Medicaid Expansion States” isn’t consistent across time. The fall in the upper line seems to offset the rise in the lower line, leaving the total trend unchanged in the middle line. Reclassifying a state with a high rate of uninsured from “non-expansion” to “expansion” would have that exact effect.

This may help…
If you want raw numbers and graphs and all broken down by states go look at Charles Gaba’s site at ACASignups.net. Start with with the following graphs and spreadsheets and then go back to the FAQ page for expalanationof who he is and what his site is all about…
Also: If you can formulate the question about the Urban Institute’s graph above, you can then ask him in his Contact Page Contact Me | ACA Signups to look into it and possibly get an answer.
He is also very active in answering to questions left in his Disqus blog system at the site.

There’s quite a bit to chew on in this post.

VINDICATION: CBO confirms: ACA reduced uninsured population by 12 Million!
For the past few months, the estimates of the reduction in the uninsured people in the U.S. has ranged from as low as 8-9 million to as high as 10-11 million, depending on the survey source (Gallup, Urban Institute, the Census Bureau, etc), when it was done (a lot has changed over just the past few months), whether it includes children under 18 or not, whether it includes undocumented immigrants or not and so on.

Although, one must almost check in daily with Charles due to what I said up-thread:
