The uninsured rate for nonelderly Latinos dropped from 32.7 percent to 18 percent from 2010 to 2022, but Latinos are more than twice as likely to be uninsured as non-Hispanic Whites, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The study, titled "Health Insurance Coverage and Access to Care Among Latino Americans: Recent Trends and Key Challenges," outlines that "by introducing new affordable coverage options, the ACA (as the Affordable Care Act is known) has significantly reduced the number of uninsured Americans," including Latinos.
