Census pegs Mass. uninsured rate in 2015 at 2.8 percent

By MATT MURPHYMassachusetts policy leaders have largely moved on from the debate over health insurance access to focus on harnessing the growing and high costs of care, but an analysis of new Census data shows the state continues to lead the country with a 2.8 percent uninsured rate.Data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Department showed that in 2015 over 97 percent of Massachusetts residents had health coverage, which was mandated under a 2006 health care access law that became the model for national health reform under President Barack Obama.The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that about 189,000 people in Massachusetts did not have health insurance in 2015, a status that could lead to tax penalties.
