...based on estimated
gains in health insurance coverage in 2014, the estimated unreimbursed cost of
the care provided by hospitals to people who are uninsured or underinsured was
$27.3 billion in 2014, $7.4 billion lower than it would have been if coverage
had continued at its 2013 level, at $34.7 billion.
