WASHINGTON -- The share of Americans without health insurance has dropped sharply since enrollment under the Affordable Care Act began in 2013, according to survey results (http://www.gallup.com/poll/184514/uninsured-rates-continue-drop-states.aspx) published by Gallup on Monday. And the law's effects are even more dramatic in states that cooperated with the federal government instead of fighting Obamacare.


Nationwide, the uninsured rate fell from 17.3 percent in 2013 to 11.7 percent (http://www.gallup.com/poll/184514/uninsured-rates-continue-drop-states.aspx) through the first half of this year, following two years of sign-ups for private health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges and for expanded Medicaid benefits, the pollsters found.

The contrast between Obamacare-friendly states and those hostile to the law is stark. Rhode Island has the lowest uninsured rate, 2.7 percent, while Texas comes in last at 20.8 percent.
