Question:

There is an obvious direct correlation between the rise in the number of Americans without healthcare insurance and the volume of uncompensated care provided by the medical industry.

The Health and Human Services data show the number of uninsured has decreased from 2010 to 2016. In addition, the report also shows the number of nonelderly uninsured adults decreased by 41 percent, falling from 48.2 million to 28.2 million. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have experienced reductions in their uninsured rates since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with states that expanded Medicaid experiencing the largest reduction in their uninsured rate. California, Kentucky, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and West Virginia have reduced their uninsured rate by at least half from 2013 to 2019 through enrollment in marketplace coverage and expansion of Medicaid to adult populations.

The American Hospital Association estimates that for 2009, uncompensated care for hospitals reached $39 billion, or 6 percent of expenses. For the uninsured without the ability to pay privately for medical care, the hospital emergency room has become a substitute for the family physician, handling medical issues that would be addressed in a physician office for those with healthcare insurance.

The true costs of uncompensated care may be seen in more human terms. The uninsured:

Receive less preventive care than those with insurance
Delay medical attention to the point where the initial diagnosis is made at a more advanced stage of illness
Are provided with less therapeutic care and have higher mortality rates after a diagnosis is made
