Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to identify the self-reported reasons for being uninsured and sociodemographic factors associated with uninsurance among lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) adults before and after the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Methods: We analyzed the 2013-2018 National Health Interview Survey data using multivariable logistic regression models to estimate the odds of being uninsured and the prevalence of self-reported reasons for not having insurance among LGB adults aged 18-64 years. Results: The study included 2124 LGB adults. The weighted uninsured rate decreased significantly from 19.6% in 2013 to 13.2% in 2017-2018 (odds ratio 0.61; 95% confidence interval 0.47-0.78). The primary reason cited for not having insurance post-ACA was similar to pre-ACA, with cost-related factors being the most commonly reported (31.5%). Conclusion: The overall uninsured rate decreased among LGB adults from 2013 to 2018, whereas disparities across subpopulations remained. Cost-related factors remained significant barriers to obtaining insurance coverage.

平价医疗法案》实施前后性少数群体成年人无保险的模式和原因。

目的：我们旨在确定在《平价医疗法案》（ACA）实施前后，女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋（LGB）成年人自我报告的未参保原因以及与未参保相关的社会人口因素。方法：我们使用多变量逻辑回归模型分析了 2013-2018 年全国健康访谈调查数据，以估计 18-64 岁 LGB 成年人中未投保的几率以及自我报告的未投保原因的流行率。研究结果该研究包括 2124 名男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者成年人。加权未投保率从2013年的19.6%大幅降至2017-2018年的13.2%（几率比0.61；95%置信区间0.47-0.78）。ACA后没有保险的主要原因与ACA前相似，成本相关因素是最常见的报告原因（31.5%）。结论：从 2013 年到 2018 年，女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者成年人的总体无保险率有所下降，但各亚人群之间的差异依然存在。与费用相关的因素仍然是获得保险的重大障碍。
