Persons with Private Health Insurance Only

This indicator shows the percentage of persons who have private health insurance only. Private health insurance is a plan provided by an employer or union, a plan purchased by an individual from a private company, or TRICARE or other military health care.

Why is this important?

Private health insurance is the most common type of health insurance in the United States. The majority of private health insurance coverage is provided by an employer. Medical costs in the United States are extremely high, so people without health insurance may not be able to afford medical treatment or prescription drugs. They are also less likely to get routine checkups and screenings, so if they do become ill they will not seek treatment until the condition is more advanced and therefore more difficult and costly to treat.

Many small businesses are unable to offer health insurance to employees due to rising health insurance premiums, and individuals may have trouble obtaining insurance on the individual market due to cost and preexisting conditions. There are many different types of private health insurance. Limited-benefit coverage plans or plans with high deductibles may achieve lesser health improvements.
