Fast Facts: Texans & Health Insurance (2012)
• 6.4 million uninsured Texans, 24.6% of all ages – Highest rate in the nation
• Children’s coverage is stable at 1.2 million uninsured, 16.4% of all kids (ages 0 – 18).
– Texas now has the 2nd worst uninsured rate for kids after NV. – More than half of these uninsured children are U.S. citizens who are eligible for
Medicaid or CHIP, but are not enrolled. – Stability protections for CHIP and children’s Medicaid have kept public coverage
for kids stable, while private coverage for Texas children continues to decline.
• Texans remain less likely to get job-based health coverage than Americans, on average.
– 49.5% of Texans were insured through their job (or their spouse’s/parents’), compared to 54.9% of the U.S. as a whole.

Fast Facts 2: Texans & Health Insurance (2012)
• Working-age adults (ages 19-64) in Texas are twice as likely to be uninsured as children.
– These adults have higher rates of job-based coverage than kids, but do not have access to free or low-cost public insurance through Medicaid and CHIP.
• Affordable Care Act (ACA) by the numbers – Over a third of uninsured Texans are U.S. Citizens income-eligible for Marketplace
financial assistance.
– Over 40% of uninsured young adults (ages 19 – 29) are U.S. citizens income-eligible for Marketplace financial assistance.
– At least 15% of all uninsured Texans (and 23% of uninsured young adults) are U.S. citizens below the federal poverty line who may fall into the “Coverage Gap” if Texas fails to expand Medicaid.
– Texans in the Coverage Gap have too little income to qualify for Marketplace subsidies, but too much to qualify for Medicaid under current state eligibility rules.

Notes About The Current Population Survey (CPS) • Key source for national and state health coverage data
– Sponsored jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics – 2012 data was released September 17, 2013
• Key facts about the CPS: – Data only available at the U.S. and state level – Asks whether the person had insurance at any time during 2012, even if only for
a short period
• Different from the American Community Survey (ACS) – ACS provides health insurance data for state and sub-state areas of 65,000 or
more. – Asks whether the person had insurance at the time they were surveyed
• For more information on CPS vs. ACS data, see CPPP’s Understanding U.S. Census Data Releases fact sheet.
