Federal data shows that the uninsured rate has been rising since 2016 and rose again in 2019. New analyses of the uninsured population in 2019 show that consumers were struggling with coverage affordability even before the COVID-19 pandemic. And recent surveys and media reports suggest a deepening affordability crisis in 2020 as millions have been laid off from work or lost income. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) sought to address the gaps in our health care system that leave millions of people without health insurance by extending Medicaid coverage to many low-income individuals and providing subsidies for Marketplace coverage for individuals below 400% of poverty. Following the ACA, the number of uninsured nonelderly Americans declined by 20 million, dropping to an historic low in 2016. However, beginning in 2017, the number of uninsured nonelderly Americans increased for three straight years, growing by 2.2 million from 26.7 million in 2016 to 28.9 million in 2019, and the uninsured rate increased from 10.0% in 2016 to 10.9% in 2019. In 2019, 28.9 million nonelderly individuals were uninsured, an increase of more than one million from 2018. Coverage losses were driven by declines in Medicaid and non-group coverage and were particularly large among Hispanic people and for children. Despite these recent increases, the uninsured rate in 2019 was substantially lower than it was in 2010, when the first ACA provisions went into effect and prior to the full implementation of Medicaid expansion and the establishment of Health Insurance Marketplace. As of February 2020 the NY State of Health, the state's official health plan Marketplace, announced that over 4.9 million people, more than one in four New Yorkers had already signed up for health coverage through NY State of Health during the year's Open enrollment Period. With an increase of 150,000 people over 2019, enrollment was at a record level, including more than 1 million people enrolled in Qualified Health Plans and the Essential Plan. Marketplace enrollment growth is consistent with New York's declining uninsured rate, which reached a historic low of 4.7 percent. Open Enrollment ran from November 1, 2019, through February 7, 2020.

America's unsustainable fiscal outlook is the result of a structural mismatch between the amount of revenues that the federal government collects and the amount of spending promised under current law. Federal spending — driven by rising healthcare costs, demographics, and interest payments on the debt is paired with revenues that are insufficient to meet the commitments that have been made. The United States spends $3.6 trillion  or 18 percent of the national economy  on healthcare. On a per capita basis, our healthcare system is the most expensive among advanced nations. Yet, America's health outcomes are generally no better than those of our peers, and in some cases are worse, including in areas like life expectancy, infant mortality, asthma, and diabetes. Total spending in FY2019 was roughly $4.4 trillion, and can be broken out into three components. The first component is Mandatory Spending, which accounted for 62% of the total. Mandatory spending is required by law, and includes funding for important programs such as social security. The largest category that accounts for the largest debt portion is health, with $1.1 trillion in funding for programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Social security, which provides payments to retirees, comes second largest at $1.0 trillion.
