54% Of Uninsured Adults In States Not Expanding Medicaid Are People Of Color
More than half (53.7%) of the 14.4 million uninsured adults in the United States who would be eligible for Medicaid if all states had adopted the expansion are people of color. As of March 2015, about 6.8 million (47.2%) of the low-income uninsured were White. Within the non-White census race categories that are grouped as "people of color," 2.9 million of the uninsured were Black, 3.6 million were Hispanic, and the remaining 1.1 million were of other non-White racial groups. This estimate does not include undocumented immigrants; they are ineligible . . .
