The Bidenomics Healthcare Problem

Since the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, there has been crucial—if labored—progress toward de facto universal healthcare in the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of non-elderly uninsured people declined from roughly 48 million in 2010 to 25.6 million in 2022. At this peak, 92 percent of the U.S. population, or about 304 million people, had some form of health insurance.
