Oregon is committed to closing the remaining gap in health insurance coverage and doing so in a way that helps the State meet its goal of eliminating health inequities. According to the Oregon Health Insurance Survey, approximately 6% of the State’s population, or approximately 248,000 individuals, were uninsured in 2019. There are clear disparities in uninsurance rates by race and ethnicity in Oregon—while only 5.4% of white Oregonians were uninsured in 2019, the comparable numbers were 11.6% of the Hispanic or Latino population, 10.6% of American Indian or Alaska Natives, and 8.2% of Black or African Americans (see Figure I below).
