    Over 47 million nonelderly individuals were uninsured in 2012.  This represents a decrease of almost 2 million uninsured people since 2010.  This change resulted from small gains in public coverage and stability in private coverage. However, the number of uninsured is still more than 4 million higher than when the recession began in 2007.  The continued weak economy contributes to the high uninsured rate.  More individuals would have become uninsured were it not for the stability of coverage provided by Medicaid and CHIP.
