Texas Counties Dominate List of U.S. Areas with Lowest Health Insurance Coverage

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Texas leads the U.S. with 19 out of 20 counties having the highest percentage of uninsured individuals under 65, as reported by SmartAsset.
  • The study highlights that Hidalgo County has the highest rate at 32.1% without health insurance, along with several other counties in Texas.
  • Nationally, around 8% of Americans lack health insurance, raising concerns about welfare responsibilities on state programs like Medicare.
  • A significant factor is Texas' decision not to adopt Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, affecting access to coverage.
  • Political analysts indicate this issue has low visibility among Texans, with little expectation of change in the near future due to Republican control.
