Medicaid expansion has not only reduced the overall number of people in the U.S. without health insurance — it has also narrowed racial gaps in health insurance coverage.

 

According to a new report from The Commonwealth Fund, health insurance coverage for Black, Hispanic/Latino, and white adults improved between 2013 to 2021. Additionally, the coverage gap between Black and white adults and between Hispanic/Latino and white adults shrank.

 

In 2013, before Medicaid expansion went into effect, 40.2% of the Hispanic/Latino population, 24.4% of the Black population, and 14.5% of the white population were uninsured. By 2021, those numbers fell to 24.5%, 13.5%, and 8.2%, respectively.
