The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

Summary
The total U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population in 2009 was estimated to be slightly more
than 301 million of whom 15.1%, or 45.5 million, were estimated by the American Community
Survey to be without health insurance or uninsured. The uninsured are far more likely than those
with health insurance to report problems getting needed medical care, less likely to follow
recommended treatments because of costs, have less access to care, receive less preventive care,
and are more likely to be hospitalized for avoidable health problems. Moreover, it is widely
believed that the uninsured, when they need care, are less able to pay for their care since they do
not have health insurance and therefore it is further assumed that other payers take on the
financial burden of their care through higher prices.
Many Americans obtain their health insurance through employers. Local factors such as local
labor market conditions, the mix of firms and firm sizes, and demographic factors such as age,
play a role in the proportion of uninsured among those of working age. The Medicare program
has effectively provided health insurance to almost all elderly Americans while the Medicaid
program and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program have expanded health insurance
coverage to both the poor and to children. State policies to expand coverage, including
implementing Medicaid waivers to expand coverage, account for some of the differences across
states in the proportion of uninsureds. Similarly, state policies to expand coverage such as
employer or personal mandates to purchase insurance in Hawaii and Massachusetts further
explain some of the differences in the number of uninsureds across states.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, P.L. 111-148, as amended), through an
expansion of Medicaid and the creation of state health insurance exchanges, is projected by the
Congressional Budget Office to reduce the share of legal non-elderly residents without health
insurance to 6% of the population by 2019.
This report, using the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2009 American Community Survey, details
differences in the number and proportion of uninsured across states, within states, and across
demographic groups.

The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

Background
The Uninsured
Roughly 15% of Americans are not covered by health insurance.1 The uninsured are more likely
to:2
• report problems getting needed medical care; and
• be hospitalized for avoidable health problems.
In addition, they are less likely, among other things, to:
• follow recommended treatments because of costs;
• have access to care; or
• receive preventive care.
Moreover, it is widely believed that the uninsured, when they need care, face higher prices since
they do not benefit from negotiated discounts.3 In addition, they are less able to pay for their care
since they do not have health insurance and therefore other payers are forced indirectly to assume
the financial burden of their care through higher prices.
While two-thirds of the uninsured are poor or near poor (i.e., with family incomes less than 133%
of federal poverty level (FPL)), in 2008 it was estimated that “the uninsured contributed $30
billion toward their own medical care. In addition, they benefited from $56 billion in
uncompensated care—$43 billion of which was government spending for care on behalf of the
uninsured (Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) and supplemental payment programs,
Medicare DSH and indirect medical education (IME) payments,4 various direct care programs,
and state and local tax appropriations).”5 The Institute of Medicine has estimated that among

sponsored surveys provide consistent and reliable estimates over time. See Office of the Assistant Secretary for

Medicare payments to teaching hospitals for the higher cost of patient care in those facilities.

individuals ages 25-64, approximately 18,000 excess deaths per year can be attributed to the lack
of health insurance.6
As this report details, there are considerable differences across states, within states, and across
demographic groups in the proportion of uninsured. The Medicare program has effectively
provided health insurance to almost all elderly Americans while the Medicaid program and the
State Children’s Health Insurance Program have expanded health insurance coverage to both the
poor and to children. State policies to expand health insurance coverage, including Medicaid
waivers, account for some of the differences across states in the proportion of uninsureds.7 For
instance, Vermont has extended Medicaid benefits to childless adults with incomes up to 150% of
FPL and only 8.6% of the state’s population is uninsured.8 Similarly, state policies such as
employer or personal mandates to purchase health insurance in Hawaii and Massachusetts further
explain some of the differences.
The explanation for variations in health insurance coverage among working adults is complex
since it must include decisions on the part of employers to offer coverage and decisions regarding
the nature of the coverage, including cost sharing, if insurance is offered. In addition, it needs to
take into consideration employees’ decisions to purchase insurance. According to the Kaiser
Family Foundation, 61% of the non-elderly population received employer-sponsored health
insurance in 2009.9 While employer-based health insurance is nearly universally offered by large
employers (over 200 employees), only 59% of small firms (3-9 employees) offered health
insurance.10 Thus, the working uninsured, poor, and unemployed who are not otherwise eligible
for a public program, covered under a family member’s policy, or cannot afford coverage are
either relegated to the more expensive individual market or to do without coverage.
To understand those who are employed and have health insurance, one needs to understand the
decision-making process that firms engage in when deciding whether to offer employees health
insurance and how to share these costs. While many policy analysts have focused on the tax
treatment of health insurance premiums as one impetus for employer provided health insurance,
other factors such as local labor market conditions and company image are also likely to play a
role in these decisions. Even if one is employed and works for a firm that offers health insurance,
there is a further set of calculations that employees make regarding whether to take-up the offer
of health insurance. These considerations include: one’s current health status, one’s expectation of
future health insurance requirements, cost (including cost sharing of the premium, deductibles,
and coinsurance), and the availability of other benefits through Section 125 cafeteria plans (where
employees can personalized benefits from a set of offerings). In 2005, it was estimated that about
7% of those who are offered employer health insurance are actually uninsured.11 All of these

factors, in addition to others, will affect the proportion of working aged Americans without health
insurance.
Methodology
This report employs the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2009 American Community Survey (ACS) to
describe the characteristics of the uninsured and provide estimates of the number and percentage
of uninsureds at the national, state, and congressional district level.12 The survey is briefly
described below and more fully documented at the U.S. Census Bureau’s Website.13
The ACS is representative of the civilian non-institutionalized population and is designed to
produce reliable estimates of the number of uninsured at the time of the survey. Respondents in
the 2009 survey were sampled between January 1 and December 31, 2009. The ACS is a
mailout/mailback survey with telephone and in-person nonresponse follow-up, conducted
continuously throughout the year, with results consolidated to produce annual estimates using
90% confidence intervals.
This is the second year that the Congressional Research Service has used the ACS to generate
these estimates. While this year we report the state-level change in the proportion of uninsured in
2009 compared to 2008, in future years we will use the ACS to track changes in the number and
proportion of uninsured over a longer period of time.
The Survey Question
The ACS contains a single multipart question (question 16) addressing health insurance coverage.
The question is replicated below. Someone who responds “no” to every item is characterized as
uninsured.

The ACS and Other Surveys of the Uninsured
There are several national surveys that estimate the uninsured including the Current Population
Survey (CPS), the American Community Survey (ACS), and the National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS). Each of these efforts have limitations – many of which have been well
documented and acknowledged by the Census Bureau and other research organizations.14 For
example, the CPS and NHIS have historically undercounted Medicaid beneficiaries and estimates
are less reliable for small states.15
The ACS, with a sample size of roughly 2 million completed surveys per year, allows for
reasonably accurate estimates of areas with a population of 65,000 or more. Therefore, the ACS
does a better job of reducing error associated with small sample size as compared to either the
CPS or NHIS. However, regardless of the survey used, discrepancies exist between survey
estimates of the number of uninsureds and estimates based on state and national administrative
data.

The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

The ACS is not without its limitations, including that:16
• it is primarily a mail survey completed without the assistance of an interviewer;
• there is a single health insurance question that uses an itemized list of coverage
types;
• the survey does not clearly delineate the coverage categories or clearly direct
respondents that “direct purchase” of insurance should be completely
independent of a current or former employer; and
• the characterization of uninsured is not collected directly, rather uninsured status
is derived from the answers to the various types of coverage and the result is not
verified.
Despite these limitations, the ACS produces results that are generally very similar to those
obtained from other surveys and the larger sample size allows for reliable state and congressional
district estimates of the uninsured.17
The Uninsured: National Analysis 2009
Estimates of the Number of Uninsured by Selected Demographic
Characteristics
The total U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population in 2009 was estimated to be slightly more
than 301 million of whom 15.1%, or 45.7 million, were uninsured (see Table 1). Women were
about 20% more likely to be uninsured than men with 16.9% of women being uninsured
compared to 13.4% of men. Older Americans, above age 65, were least likely to be uninsured,
fewer than 1%, because of the near universal coverage offered by Medicare. Those under age 19
were also less likely to be uninsured (9.0%) with only about 5% of those under age 1 and 7% of
those under age 6 being uninsured. Individuals age 19 through 21 were most likely to be
uninsured (29.7%).
Low income is associated with not having health insurance and individuals with incomes equal or
less than 133% of FPL are least likely to have health insurance (27.7%) compared to other
income groups. Almost 95% of those at 400% or more of FPL have health insurance.
Marital and employment status are also associated with being uninsured. Single individuals, age
18-64, were twice as likely to be uninsured compared to married individuals and those working
part-time were almost twice as likely to be uninsured compared to individuals working full time.18

18 Full time is defined in PPACA § 1513(c)(4) as working 30 hours a week. To align with PPACA’s definition, full
time is defined in this report as working 30 or more hours a week for 50 or more weeks and part-time is defined as
working fewer than 30 hours a week or less than 50 weeks per year.

The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Uninsured
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, P.L. 111-148, as amended) was
designed, in part, to expand access to health insurance. For instance, beginning with renewals
from September 23, 2010, PPACA provides that dependent children up to age 26 can remain on
their parent’s health insurance generally beginning with the next subsequent renewal. Beginning
in 2014, or sooner at state option, PPACA requires states to expand Medicaid to certain
individuals who are under age 65 with income up to 133% of FPL. This reform not only expands
eligibility to a group that is not currently eligible for Medicaid (low income childless adults), but
also raises Medicaid’s mandatory income eligibility level for certain existing groups to 133% of
the FPL.19 The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Joint Committee on Taxation estimated
that the coverage expansion provisions in the health reform law would result in a Medicaid
enrollment increase, over what otherwise would have been the case, of approximately 16 million
by FY2019.20
Under PPACA, states are to establish health insurance exchanges that provide eligible individuals
and small businesses with access to health insurance. In addition, individuals with incomes
greater than 133% of FPL up to 400% of FPL are eligible for premium tax credits and cost-
sharing subsidies. CBO estimates that 24 million individuals will obtain health insurance through
an exchange and 5 million more will obtain their insurance through their employer’s participation
in an exchange. While some individuals who are currently privately insured will be covered
through an exchange in the future, CBO estimated that, on net, PPACA will reduce the number of
uninsured by 32 million by 2019, leaving 23 million (or 6%) of non-elderly Americans
uninsured.21

19 PPACA extended Medicaid coverage of children 6 through 18 up to 133% of FPL but the subsequent Medicare and
Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-309).

a. All figures are for the civilian non-institutionalized population. Each value in the table is an estimate with a
confidence interval around the estimate. While the confidence intervals are not presented, they are
available.
b. Above (below) the national level means that subgroup has, with a 90% confidence level, a statistically
significantly higher (lower) likelihood of being uninsured as compared to the overall national average. If a
subgroup is at the national level, there is no statistical difference between the proportion of individuals
uninsured in the subgroup and the national average.
c. The population estimates based on poverty status are less than the total population estimates since these
estimates exclude people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals
under 15 years old as well as institutionalized individuals.
d. Never married, separated, divorced, or widowed.
e. Working 30 or more hours for 50 or more weeks a year. 6: Working fewer than 30 hours a week for
fewer than 50 weeks a year.

The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

The Uninsured: Comparisons Across States
Number and Percentage of Uninsureds by State
There is wide variation across states in terms of the percentage of each state’s civilian non-
institutionalized population not having insurance (see Table 2). For instance, residents of Texas
are five times more likely not to have health insurance as residents of Massachusetts. Table 3
ranks orders the states from lowest to highest in terms of each state’s percent uninsured
population and Figure 1 presents the same data on a map of the United States.
While there are many factors that can potentially influence these estimates, two of the 10 states
with the lowest percentage of uninsureds, Massachusetts and Hawaii, have insurance mandates
(see Table 3). Hawaii has had an employer health insurance mandate since 1974 which covers
employees who work 20 hours a week or more;22 and Massachusetts adopted an individual
mandate beginning in July 2007. The District of Columbia has a low proportion of uninsureds in
part due to its low-income childless-adult Medicaid waiver and the District’s Healthcare Alliance
Program which provides care to non-disabled childless-adults, non-qualified aliens and some
individuals who are over-income for Medicaid. Most of the remaining states in the top ten, with
the exception of Iowa, also have Medicaid waivers that cover low-income childless adults. Iowa
has a high percentage of non-elderly adults covered by private health insurance and a low
percentage of uninsured children.
One-Year Change in Uninsureds
While in aggregate there was not a change in the percentage of uninsureds in the United States
between 2008 and 2009, several states experienced either a disproportionate increase or decrease
in the number of uninsureds. Table 4 presents the percentage of uninsured in each state in 2008
and 2009, the one year change in the percentage uninsured and the one-year percentage change in
the percentage uninsured.
Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, the District of Columbia, New Mexico, and West Virginia
experienced the largest declines in the percentage uninsured while Alaska, Kansas, Nebraska,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Wyoming experienced the largest increases in the percentage of
uninsured (column 4). Arizona, Colorado, the District of Columbia, New Mexico, North Dakota,
and West Virginia each experienced a year-on-year decline of more than 7% (column 5). Kansas,
Nebraska, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Wyoming each experienced a year-on-year increase
of more than 7% (column 5).

The Uninsured: Characteristics by State, 2009
Table 5 presents the percentage uninsured in each state by four age categories: under age 6, under
age 19, age 21 through age 64, and age 65 and above.23 The first two categories depict two
overlapping groups children, the third category generally captures working adults, and the final
category describes the elderly who are generally covered by Medicare.

23 The under age 6 category is relevant as there is mandatory eligibility for Medicaid for these children with family
incomes up to 133% of FPL. The under age 19 category is relevant since there is also mandatory eligibility for
Medicaid for children ages 6 through 18 with family incomes up to 100% of FPL and 133% of FPL beginning January
1, 2014 although states can choose to extend this coverage prior to 2014.

The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

Table 6 rank orders states by the percentage uninsured in each of the age categories, from lowest
to highest. Nationally, 7% of children under age 6 and 9% of children under age 19 were
uninsured. Massachusetts had the lowest proportion of uninsured children, 1.2% under age 6 and
1.5% under age 19, followed by Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and Vermont. Nevada had the
highest proportion of uninsured children, 16.8% under age 6 and 18.4% under age 19, followed
by Alaska, Montana, Texas, and Florida.
Among those adults age 21 through 64, nationally 20.3% were uninsured (see Table 5).
Massachusetts had the lowest proportion of non-elderly adults uninsured with 5.9% followed by
the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Minnesota, and Vermont. Texas, with 30.3%, had the highest
proportion of non-elderly adults uninsured followed by Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, and
Alaska (see Table 6). While no state had more than 1.9% of its elderly population, over age 65,
uninsured, the proportion across the states ranged from 0.1% in Vermont, West Virginia, and Iowa
to 1.9% in Nevada.
Table 7 presents the percentage uninsured in each state by three income categories: under 133%
of FPL , between 133% and 400% of FPL, and above 400% of FPL. Table 8 rank orders the
states by the percentage uninsured in each of the three income categories, from lowest to highest.
Nationally, 27.7% of individual with incomes under 133% of FPL were uninsured, 17.6% of
individuals with incomes between 133% and 400% of FPL were uninsured, and 5.4% of
individuals with incomes over 400% of FPL were uninsured. Massachusetts had the lowest
proportion of individuals with incomes under 133% of FPL, 7.6%, followed by the District of
Columbia, Vermont, and Hawaii. Nevada had the highest proportion of individuals with incomes
under 133% of FPL uninsured, 41.8%, followed by Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Alaska (see
Table 8).
Table 9 presents the percentage uninsured in each state by marital status (single/married). Table
10 rank orders the states by the percentage uninsured by marital status, lowest to highest.
Nationally, 28.2% of those individuals not married (single, separated, divorced, or widowed)
were uninsured whereas 13.6% of those individuals who were married were uninsured.
Massachusetts had the lowest proportion of single adults, age 18 through 64, uninsured with 8.9%
followed by the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Connecticut, and Minnesota. Texas, with 38.4%,
had the highest proportion of single adults, age 18 through 64, uninsured followed by Alaska,
Florida, Nevada, and Oklahoma. Massachusetts had the lowest proportion of married adults, age
18 through 64, uninsured with 2.8% followed by the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Minnesota,
and Vermont. Texas, with 24.3%, had the highest proportion of married adults, age 18 through 64,
uninsured followed by Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, and Oklahoma.
Table 9 also presents the percentage uninsured in each state by employment status (full/part time)
and Table 11 rank orders the states by the percentage uninsured by employment status, lowest to
highest. Nationally, 14.3% of those employed full-time were uninsured while 26.5% of those
employed part-time were uninsured.24 Massachusetts had the lowest proportion of full-time
employed adults, age 18 through 64, uninsured with 4.0% followed by Hawaii, the District of
Columbia, Connecticut, and Minnesota. Texas, with 23.0%, had the highest proportion of full
time employed adults, age 18 through 64, uninsured followed by New Mexico, Florida, Montana,
and Louisiana. Massachusetts had the lowest proportion of part-time employed adults, age 18

24 Individuals did not necessarily obtain their health insurance coverage from their employer and an insured working
part-time may have been covered by another family member working full-time.

The Uninsured: Characteristics by Congressional
District (111th Congress)
Of the 435 congressional districts, 245 had fewer uninsureds in 2009, as a proportion of their
population, than the national average of 15.1% and more than 80 congressional districts had
fewer then 10% of their populations uninsured in 2009. Of the 10 congressional districts with the
lowest proportion of uninsureds, nine were in Massachusetts. The 4th congressional district in
Congressional Research Service
29

The Uninsured by State and Congressional District

Massachusetts, an area west and south of Boston, had the lowest proportion of uninsureds in the
country with just 3.2% of its population uninsured. The fifth congressional district in Wisconsin,
north and west of Milwaukee, was the only non-Massachusetts district among the ten districts
with the lowest proportion of uninsureds.
There were 12 congressional districts in 2009 where more than 30% of their populations were
uninsured: six in Texas (32, 18, 28, 30, 9, and 29), three in California (47, 34, and 31), two in
Florida (23 and 17) and one in Arizona (4). California’s 31st congressional district, covering parts
of Los Angeles, had the highest proportion of uninsureds of any congressional district with 38.5%
uninsured.
In the appendix that follows, two tables are presented for each state and the District of Columbia.
The first table presents the proportion uninsured in 2009 by gender, age, income, and marital and
employment status. The second table presents the proportion of uninsured, estimated by the
Census Bureau, for each congressional district in 2009. Both sets of estimates were generated by
the Census Bureau based on the 2009 American Community Survey.

a. Total population figures are for the civilian non-institutionalized population. Each value in the table is an
estimate with an associated confidence interval around it. While the confidence intervals are not presented,
they are available.
b. Above (below) the national level means that subgroup at the state level, has, with a 90% confidence level, a
statistical y significantly higher (lower) likelihood of being uninsured than the same subgroup at the national
level. If a subgroup is at the national level, there is no statistical difference between the proportion of
individuals uninsured in the subgroup at the state level as compared to the subgroup at the national level.
c. Never married, separated, divorced, or widowed.
d. Working 30 or more hours for 50 or more weeks a year.
