Age Profile of Those Lacking Michigan Health Insurance

Profile of the Uninsured by Age

Who are the uninsured?

A full 87.5 percent of the uninsured in Michigan are adults, while only 12.5 percent are children. Young adults have the highest rate of uninsurance with individuals aged 21 to 24 having an uninsured rate of 31.3 percent and those aged 25 to 29 having a rate of 24.2 percent. The rate of uninsurance decreases significantly after age 29 and continues to decline steadily thereafter.

How does Michigan compare with the rest of the U.S.?

Both Michigan children whose rate of uninsurance is 5.2 percent, and adults whose rate is 14.8 percent are less likely to be uninsured than children and adults nationally whose rates of uninsurance are 11.0 percent and 19.9 percent respectively.

Who's at risk for being uninsured?

Adults in Michigan are more than two and a half times as likely to be uninsured as children, and young adults have the greatest risk of any age group for being uninsured. Between 1999-2001 and 2004-2006 the chance of being uninsured decreased for children from 7.0 percent to 5.2 percent. During this same time, the rate of uninsurance increased for adults up to age 60, but particularly for young adults.
