Obamacare Drives Uninsured Rate To Lowest On Record
Posted: 07/10/2014 4:33 pm EDT
The percentage of Americans without health insurance fell to a new low in recent months, according to the results of a Gallup poll released Thursday.
Specifically, the uninsured rate fell to 13.4 percent in the second quarter of 2014. That's down from its peak of 18 percent in the third quarter of last year, and it's the lowest quarterly average that Gallup has seen since it began tracking this type of data in 2008.
The percentage of uninsured Americans has fallen steadily since the beginning of Obamacare's open enrollment period for buying insurance in October. President Obama's health law mandates that nearly all Americans either have health insurance or pay a fine.

20 Million Americans Get Insurance Under Obamacare
July 2, 2014
About 20 million Americans have gained health insurance or enrolled in new insurance under the health care reform law, according to a new report.
The report from the Commonwealth Fund, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, credits President Barack Obama’s health reform law with an estimated 20 million enrollments as of May 1. The report looks at both people who gained coverage through insurance marketplaces, and people who gained coverage due to provisions in the Affordable Care Act (such as those qualifying for Medicaid and those now covered through the Children’s Health Insurance Program).
