With the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014, San Antonio saw a marked increase in health insurance coverage. Over the years, that percentage has declined. In 2019, health insurance coverage was 5% higher than in 2010.
Younger San Antonians between the ages of 19 and 25, however, continue to be covered at disproportionately lower rates than children or seniors over the age of 65.
