Detailed Breakdowns
The 40 states that adopted the expansion of Medicaid to cover medical costs for low-income families have uninsured rates about one-half the level of the other 10 who rejected this federal program.
The decline in the medically uninsured has been relatively consistent across racial/ethnic groups from 1984 to 2009 to 2019. Whites 14% to 17% down to 11%. Blacks 20% to 19% to 11%! Hispanics 30% to 33% to 23%.
Another 3.7M Americans would have basic medical insurance coverage if the remaining 10 states would fully participate in the federal Medicaid program.

Five high population states with 5-7% uninsured rates account for another one-fourth of the total: 6.9M. CA, NY, IL, OH and PA.
