| "What we are looking at now is a puzzle that is falling apart piece by piece… Losing the individual mandate, losing the cost-sharing reduction subsidies and losing any hint of reinsurance, not to mention the risk corridors that were already gone, you’re just running out of options to manage the cost of this program.” | |

In 2017, 29.3 million people, or 9.1 percent of the population, were uninsured, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health Interview. That's up slightly from 28.6 million people, or 9 percent, who didn't have health insurance in 2016. The increase is not statistically significant given the margin of error.
