The McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metro area in Texas has the highest uninsured rate at 35.7 percent when compared to other metro areas in the U.S., according to a ranking from 24/7 Wall St.
The ranking, published Sept. 4, used data from the U.S. Census Bureau on the share of uninsured residents in each metro area who didn't qualify for Medicare. Four states — Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont — only have one metro area, so those had the highest uninsured rate as a default.
