HEALTHCARE QUESTION:

While millions of people have gained coverage under the ACA provisions that went into effect in 2014, over 28 million nonelderly individuals remained uninsured in 2015. Many of these people are ineligible for ACA coverage, either because of their immigration status or because their state did not expand Medicaid. Others may be eligible but either do not know of the new coverage options, have had difficulty navigating the enrollment process, or opted not to take up coverage.

Affordability of coverage, even with the availability of financial assistance, remains a barrier to insurance, with remaining uninsured adults naming cost as an ongoing major reason for not being insured.
