"I hope to investigate how data cooperatives can rebalance power dynamics in cities, allowing people to learn about themselves and their communities while...using data to advocate for policy and practical solutions in their own best interests." @katyaabaz greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/05/22/dai…

If yesterday’s #CensusData release on poverty, income, and health insurance was tl;dr… here were a few key takeaways to get you caught up….

First, the biggie.

The share of Americans without health insurance jumped from 7.9% in 2017 to 8.5% in 2018—the first increase in the uninsured rate since the Affordable Care Act took effect.

That’s ~2 million fewer people with health insurance.

Make no mistake: This is the direct result of the Trump administration’s relentless ACA sabotage.

Meanwhile, if Trump gets his way and the courts strike down the ACA altogether, the uninsured rate would nearly *double.*

THREAD: Our first look at the #CensusData shows us that nearly 2 million more people were without health insurance in 2018 compared to 2017. That's 27.5 million people without health coverage.
The % of people who are uninsured rose in both of the #CensusData surveys which is the first time this has happened since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act. The uninsured rate rose to 8.5% compared to 7.9% in 2017.
This is troubling for many reasons & now might be a good time to check our timeline laying out the Trump Admin's attempts at sabotaging the ACA: bit.ly/2KkuFmE
