Many Uninsured Gained Coverage Through Medicaid During ACA Open Enrollment, Urban Institute Finds
A new Urban Institute Health Policy Center report suggests that many of the uninsured people who gained coverage under the Affordable Care Act did so through Medicaid. Researchers noted that while the number of Medicaid beneficiaries increased by about 3.6 million between September 2013 and early March 2014, the number of uninsured declined by about 5.4 million people during the same period.
