The first full-year 2009 numbers about health insurance coverage from the NCHS’ National Health Interview Survey have been released. The notable numbers:
- 58.5 million Americans were insured for at least part of the previous year
- 46.3 million were without insurance at the time they were interviewed
- 32.6 million had been uninsured for more than a year
The numbers are sliced and diced a number of ways. I’ve included a visualization of one of the livelier categories: The number of people getting their health coverage from public or private sources.
