The percentage of Americans without insurance last year remained relatively stable compared to 2024. However, more people are likely to lose coverage in the years to come due to healthcare spending cuts from the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
U.S. uninsurance rate flatlined at 8.3% in 2025, but federal cuts ($1T+) will drive 10M additional uninsured per CBO. Medicaid work requirements and ACA subsidy expiration increase employer health plan costs, raising HR budget pressure and talent retention risks.
