Fewer Americans were uninsured in 2022 than in the previous year, according to early estimates from the National Health Interview Survey.

"In 2022, 27.6 million people of all ages were uninsured at the time of the interview," said Robin A. Cohen, Ph.D., and Amy E. Cha, Ph.D., the authors of the study.
