In 2023, approximately one quarter of U.S. adults in Medicaid expansion states had some kind of public health insurance coverage. In comparison, just one in seven of U.S. adults in non-Medicaid expansion states were publicly insured. As of November 2022, ten states, mostly in the South, had not adopted Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. This statistic shows the percentage of adults aged 18-64 years with public health insurance in the United States from 2010 to 2023, by state Medicaid expansion status.
