The rate (13.8 percent) and number of uninsured in 2010 (36.9 million)for the native-born population;
Among the foreign-born population, the rate and number of uninsured
increased for naturalized citizens in 2010 to 20.0 percent and 3.4 million,
from 18.4 percent and 3.0 million in 2009. Both the rate (45.1 percent) and
number of uninsured (9.7 million) for noncitizens in 2010 were not statistically different from 2009 estimates.
