The persistence of millions of Americans forgoing health coverage is not a sustainable status quo for those patients, their families, communities, or our health care system.

Enabling millions more uninsured Americans to be enrolled in health coverage for which they are already eligible can help improve the health of those Americans, their communities, and our health care system.

Uninsured Americans eligible for current plans and programs would benefit from more streamlined, automated, efficient, effective enrollment processes to gain coverage that meet their needs.

New policies to enroll uninsured Americans into existing coverage options should respect consumers’ individual needs and prioritize meaningful, affordable, quality coverage that improves access for targeted populations.
