Rural Policy Brief. 2013 Jun 1(2013 6):1-4.
Key Findings. (1) A larger proportion of the rural population than the urban population is uninsured and low income (living at or below 138% of the federal poverty line [FPL]) (9.9% as compared to 8.5%) and a larger proportion of the rural population than the urban population will be eligible for subsidized Health Insurance Marketplace (HIM) coverage due to income levels and current lack of insurance (10.7% as compared to 9.6%). (2) Assuming full Medicaid expansion, a larger proportion of the rural uninsured than the urban uninsured would be eligible for Medicaid (43.5% as compared to 38.5%). (3) A smaller proportion of the rural uninsured than the urban uninsured has income above 400% FPL and thus will not qualify for either Medicaid or HIM subsidies (10% as compared to 14.1%). (4) The proportion of the uninsured population potentially eligible for Medicaid expansion is highest in the rural South (47.5%) and lowest in the urban Northeast (32.5%) and the rural Northeast (35.8%).
（1）农村人口中未参保和低收入（生活在联邦贫困线[FPL]的138%及以下）的比例高于城市人口（分别为9.9%和8.5%），并且由于收入水平和当前未参保情况，农村人口中符合获得补贴的医保市场（HIM）覆盖资格的比例高于城市人口（分别为10.7%和9.6%）。（2）假设医疗补助计划全面扩大，农村未参保人群中符合医疗补助资格的比例高于城市未参保人群（分别为43.5%和38.5%）。（3）农村未参保人群中收入高于400%FPL从而不符合医疗补助或HIM补贴资格的比例低于城市未参保人群（分别为10%和14.1%）。（4）潜在符合医疗补助计划扩大资格的未参保人群比例在南部农村地区最高（47.5%），在东北部城市地区最低（32.5%），在东北部农村地区为35.8%。
