More Education Does Not Erase Racial Disparities in Health Coverage

Research has shown that uninsured rates are lower for people with more education but an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows that racial and ethnic disparities in health insurance coverage persist even among the more educated.

A recent brief that uses data from the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS) showed that the uninsured rate across race and Hispanic origin groups ranged from 5.7% for White, non-Hispanic people to 18.8% for those identifying as non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native.

The ACS 1-year estimates show that educational attainment varied widely by race and Hispanic origin. For example, about 60% of Asian, non-Hispanic adults ages 25 to 64 held a bachelor?s degree or higher compared with 16.5% of non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native adults in that age group.

Other race groups with high rates of people with at least a bachelor?s degree included: Some Other Race, non-Hispanic (42.3%), and White, non-Hispanic (41.5%).?
