In 2017, the uninsured rate across
upstate New York averaged just
4.0 percent. This maintains our
region's historically low uninsured
rate. It compares with a New York
state average of 5.7 percent and a
national average of 8.7 percent.
Our 2018 and 2019 rate increases
in the small group and individual
markets were among the lowest in
upstate New York, which helped
keep our local health insurance
affordable and uninsured rate low.
