Abstract

The rate of individuals without health insurance in New Hampshire has continued to decrease in recent years, with a rate of 5.1% in 2021 and 4.9% in 2022. This pattern aligns with the national rate of uninsured individuals; in 2021, 8.6% of the US population did not have health insurance, and 8.0% in 2022. Compared to other states in New England, New Hampshire remains in the middle with respect to its rate of uninsured residents. Maine’s uninsured rate was 5.7% in 2021 and 6.6% in 2022, while Massachusetts’ rate was 2.5% in 2021 and 2.4% in 2022.
