WHICH IS WHY WE'LL REFORM IT, NOT REPEAL IT:
U.S. Uninsured Rate at New Low of 10.9% in Third Quarter (Stephanie Marken, 10/07/16, Gallup)
In the third quarter of 2016, 10.9% of U.S. adults were without health insurance, representing a new low in Gallup's and Healthways' nearly nine years of trending the rate of uninsured. This is down from 11.9% in the fourth quarter of 2015, before the 2016 open enrollment period that allowed U.S. adults to obtain insurance through the government health insurance exchanges.
