Wisconsin sees slight dip in uninsured rate

The number of uninsured people in Wisconsin decreased 0.4 percent to 10.4 percent from 2010-2012, according to a survey released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Nationally, the number of people covered by private health insurance fell those three years, but Wisconsin’s rate of privately insured individuals actually increased 0.4 percent to 69.4 percent and Wisconsin was one of 14 states and the District of Columbia to experience no statistical shift in public coverage.
