Survey Finds Increase In Americans Without Health Insurance

The percentage of Americans without health insurance ticked up slightly in 2017, according to a Gallup Survey.

It found the uninsured rate among adults at 12.2 percent during the fourth quarter of last year. That’s a 1.3 percent increase from the record low of just under 11 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Jennifer Tolbert is director of State Health Reform at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
