U.S. Uninsurance Rate Holds Steady in 2025 Despite Expected Medicaid Coverage Losses
The CDC reports the U.S. uninsurance rate remained flat in 2025 compared to 2024. However, coverage losses are projected to increase in coming years due to federal healthcare spending cuts included in the "Big Beautiful Bill." The legislation is expected to reduce Medicaid enrollment, which will affect managed care organizations' membership and revenue. Timing of coverage reductions depends on final bill provisions and state implementation.
Why it matters for managed care
Expected Medicaid spending cuts will reduce MCO enrollment and capitation revenue, requiring plans to adjust member acquisition strategies, network capacity, and financial forecasts.
