How has Obamacare affected health insurance in New Mexico?
Answer:
In New Mexico, the Congressional delegation supported healthcare reform and opted to expand Medicaid. Through Medicaid expansion and availability of subsidies on the exchange, the uninsured rate has gone from 24% pre-Affordable Care Act to 12.8% in 2015. While still above the national average of 9.1%, there has still been a clear annual improvement.
