The number of people without health insurance increased to 12.3% in the third quarter of this year. This is the highest figure in 2014.
According to Gallup from the beginning of the year, the number of not insured persons increased by 1.4%, and it is connected with the desire of the presidential administration and Republican Congress to repeal ObamaCare.
Last week trump said he was canceling subsidies to insurance companies for needy patients. Democrats accused the President of «sabotage».
However, experts note that the number of not insured in the near future may be greatly reduced due to the reduction in unemployment, because employers in most cases offer their employees a full benefits package including, among other things and insurance.
At the same time not all experts are so optimistic. Some believe that there are serious reasons to fear a further decline in the number of insured due to the reduction in the number of students in higher educational institutions.
