About 8% of the country lacked health insurance in 2025, new data shows. That could rise next year

According to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the uninsured rate in the United States remained stable at approximately 8% in 2025. However, health policy experts warn that this rate could rise in the coming years due to the expiration of Affordable Care Act subsidies and sweeping changes to Medicaid. The findings mark the first complete data set on health insurance coverage from the first year of President Donald Trump's second term.
