Abstract

Over five years ago The Affordable Health Care Act (AHCA) was passed into law with the goal of reducing the number of those uninsured. Overall the data shows that the number uninsured in the United States has decreased over the years. However recent reports suggested that the distribution of those insured has been uneven across regions. This research focuses on how the landscape of the insured has changed for different places in the United States. This research will use statistical analysis to analyze regions, states, and counties to examine the outcomes of the AHCA and the proportion of uninsured that remain. This research will primarily focus on the question of determining if there is difference in the proportion of people insured in states depending on whether the AHCA has been implemented and how that compares to national averages. The research expects to find regional differences that indicate a continuum of outcomes.
