Definitions: Number and percent of adults age 18 to 64 at or below 138% of the federal poverty level that do not have health coverage through either private (e.g., private purchase or employer-sponsored) or public (e.g., Medicaid or CHIP) insurance according to the Small Area Health Insurance Estimates.

Footnotes: If Texas were to expand its Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act, adults age 18 to 64 living at or below 138% of the federal poverty level would become eligible for Medicaid. Currently, these adults are not eligible unless pregnant, disabled, or are parents receiving TANF (living at or below 12% of the federal poverty line).
