The Affordable Care Act helped significantly lower the number of uninsured Americans from 2013 through 2016, particularly because it expanded Medicaid eligibility to more families.But the trend line is heading back in the other direction as Obamacare withers; more individuals move into the private market as incomes rise and eligibility changes; and access to health care becomes more challenging for immigrant families.
