The number of uninsured Americans declined by 8.8 million in 2014, the first year the major insurance reforms of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) took effect, according to new federal survey of 98,000 adults released by the U.S. Census Bureau today.
US CENSUS BUREAU: 1.25 million MORE Americans uninsured in January to April 2014 than in 2013. A separate government metric indicated that the uninsured population has decreased by 3.8 million overall, which falls far short of the administration's alleged numbers, but is at least an uptick.
