A latest report released recently discovered that the provisions of the Affordable Care Act have resulted in an estimated 20 million persons gaining health insurance coverage between the passage of the law in the year 2010 and early 2016-an historic reduction in the uninsured. Those provisions involve Medicaid expansion, Health Insurance Marketplace coverage and changes in private insurance that allow young adults to stay on their parents' health insurance policies and require policies to cover people with pre-existing health conditions.
The report's model controls for general economic cases (i.e., employment status), pre-existing trends, geographic location and demographic changes, so its estimates concentrate on the decline in the number of uninsured Americans specifically linked with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
