WASHINGTON, March 10 (UPI) -- U.S. adults without health insurance dropped from 17.1 percent at the end of last year to 15.9 percent so far this year, a survey by Gallup indicates.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index surveyed 28,000 U.S. adults Jan. 2-Feb. 28 found the uninsured rate for nearly every major demographic group dropped in 2014 so far. The percentage of uninsured Americans with an annual household income of $36,000 and less dropped the most -- by 2.8 percentage points -- to 27.9 percent since the fourth quarter of 2013.
