Rising unemployment will likely lead to millions of Americans becoming uninsured, according to an analysis from the Health Management Association.
The association estimates the number of Americans who receive health insurance through their employer could fall by 12 million to 35 million. In total, uninsured numbers could increase to 40 million, and states that haven't expanded Medicaid could see larger uninsured numbers.
Here is a state-by-state breakdown of how many residents could lose health insurance due to unemployment spurred by COVID-19. The estimates are based on a medium unemployment scenario that assumes 21 million Americans lose their jobs.
