About uninsured rate
What this measures: Share of residents under 65 with no health insurance coverage of any kind.
Why it matters: The uninsured rate predicts emergency-room costs, preventive-care gaps, and a state's exposure to medical-debt collections.
Watch out: This is a survey estimate. Single-year differences smaller than two percentage points usually fall inside the margin of error.
