Clip: 9/14/2021 | 6m 18sVideo has Closed Captions
A look at the pandemic's impact on health insurance coverage in 2020.
More people in the U.S. went uninsured last year — and the rate of employer-provided health insurance dropped, likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. That's according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau released today. But, those gaps in coverage come along with an increase in people covered by public health insurance.
