Abstract
Historically, part-time workers have been more likely to be uninsured than their full-time peers. Data from the 2010-15 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey show that coverage differences by work hours declined after 2014. Uninsurance declined more for part-time workers, with pathways to coverage varying by state Medicaid expansion status.
