Tracking Health Insurance Coverage During the Unwinding: Monthly Data from the Household Pulse Survey

As states continue the process of redetermining Medicaid enrollees’ eligibility, researchers at SHADAC have been using monthly data from the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) to assist in tracking health insurance coverage rates during the unwinding. The blog presents rates of primary source of health insurance coverage by type and rates of no insurance as they are observed in the HPS. Estimates are presented at the state and national level by selected individual and geographic characteristics. The most recent analysis using data from March 2024 showed that uninsurance rates increased among Non-Hispanic White adults.
