Who is in the Medicaid coverage gap? Of the 2.2 million people who do not have coverage in these states, 60% are people of color. 28% are Latino and 28% are Black. Refusal to expand is an issue of justice and equity.

/
The graphic is a blue background with large text that reads, Black, Latino adults represent more than half the coverage gap despite representing just over a third of all adults in non-expansion states. There are two pie charts:  Pie chart on the left is labeled Coverage Gap, and the breakdown includes American Indian or Alaska Native (1%), Asian or Pacific Islander (1%), Other (2%), Latino (28%), Black (28%), White (40%).  Pie chart on the right is labeled All Non Elderly Adults and includes White (59%), Black (19%), Latino (17%), Asian or Pacific Islander (3%), Other (2%).
