The number of people in the US without health insurance is expected to rise to nearly 30 million in 2022, according to a new study from the Urban Institute. The research found that the number of uninsured adults will increase by about 8 million next year, and by 2027, that number will reach 27.5 million. The study also estimates that the number of children without health insurance will increase by about 1 million by 2022.

There are a number of factors that are driving the increase in the number of people without health insurance. One is the repeal of the individual mandate, which required people to have health insurance or face a tax penalty. The other is the Trump administration's decision to allow states to waive certain requirements of the Affordable Care Act, such as the requirement that insurers cover pre-existing conditions.

There are a number of ways to help people get health insurance, such as subsidies and Medicaid. However, the Trump administration has proposed cuts to both of these programs, which would make it more difficult for people to get coverage.

It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 27.5 million people in the US will be uninsured. This number is down from a peak of nearly 49 million in 2010. The decline in uninsured individuals is credited to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has dramatically increased the ability of individuals to access health care coverage, providing subsidies to those with lower incomes and expanding access to Medicaid. While the ACA has improved access to health insurance, challenges still remain. For example, those who are undocumented immigrants, much of those making over 400% of the federal poverty limit, and the states not expanding Medicaid will still lack insurance coverage or face higher costs for coverage. Additionally, certain populations such as the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions may still find coverage difficult to obtain. These challenges will have to be addressed in order to reduce the number of uninsured individuals in the US.
