This study aims to estimate the prevalence of underinsurance and uninsured adults in the US and assess the impact of Affordable Care Act reforms.
Analyzed data on US adults aged 19-64 in 2010 regarding insurance status.
Calculated medical cost exposure in relation to income levels, specifically focusing on those below 250 percent of the federal poverty level.
In 2010, 44 percent (81 million) of adults aged 19-64 were uninsured or underinsured, an increase from previous years.
A successful implementation of reforms could reduce the number of underinsured individuals by 70 percent.
Adults with incomes below 250 percent of the federal poverty level represent a significant majority of those at risk.
