Share of Nonelderly Adults Without Health Insurance Coverage Under Current Law and Under the AHCA, by Age and Income Level, 2026

Sources: Congressional Budget Office; staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation.

Estimates are based on CBO’s March 2016 baseline, adjusted for subsequent legislation. They reflect the average number of people without insurance coverage over the course of the year in the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The width of each bar represents the relative share of the population in each age and income category. In CBO’s projections, 200 percent of the FPL in 2026 would amount to $30,300 for a single person.

AHCA = American Health Care Act; FPL = federal poverty level.
