Abstract: Health insurance coverage expanded substantially in the United States after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014; between 2013 and 2016, the number of uninsured people fell by 18.5 million (Skopec, Holahan, and Elmendorf 2018). Those gains in coverage are distributed unevenly across states, depending in part on states’ decisions to expand Medicaid. Beginning in 2017, however, coverage gains have stalled, and recent evidence finds a slight increase in the number of uninsured nationally (Skopec, Holahan, and Elmendorf 2019). Policymakers in New Mexico, like those in many other states, are looking for ways to build on the ACA to stabilize and increase coverage for their constituents. To help with those efforts, we examine the characteristics of uninsured New Mexicans, highlighting populations that could benefit from targeted policies.
