This is before the repeal of the individual mandate due to start this year remember.
Whatever measure you use the uninsured rate very likely is going back up, as I say prior to Obamacare the uninsured rate was typically around 13-15%, so we're essentially inching towards those numbers once again.
Somewhere between 2-5 million have lost their health insurance since Trump came to office. That 15-20 million gain Obama made is slowly being wiped away.

There will always be a certain percentage of young and healthy people who don't want to spend the money on health insurance if they aren't forced to.
Removal of the mandate means that they will once again account for a large part of the uninsured.
The fact that this will be entirely voluntary on their part is something that the pro ACA types conveniently don't want to acknowledge.
The other problem with that chart is how they count the "insured." A more accurate telling would be how many people have insurance CARDS.
For example, I previously had good coverage at affordable rates. Now with Obamacare, I have a very limited narrow of doctors, which require me to pay cash for services. The deductible for in-network is almost $7,000, and the separate deductible for out-of-network (which I must go to since doctors are so limited) is almost $14,000. Adding in the nearly $10,000 a year in premiums, this "insured Obamacare person" is liable for $30,000 (in a bad year).
Sorry, but someone who could be on the hook for $30,000 a year - or about half the take home pay - is NOT really insurance. It's a catastrophic plan - with gold premiums.
Obama threw the hard-working middle class to the wolves, while giving full coverage for every little sneeze to the lower-income.
Obama care or The Unaffordable and i don't care act was a tax scheme that included a requirement that everyone buy insurance so not surprising that it lowered the uninsured number. It was a failure because it didn't address the problem of the current system of too much cost. Everyone in my family was worse off from Obamacare.

Do you expect the federal government to control prices within the private sector?
Congress determines reimbursement rates paid by Medicare. No medical practice is forced to accept Medicare reimbursement. While most do, most also limit the number of Medicare enrollees they will accept as patients.
Do you favor the federal government capping wages, benefits and profits within the private sector?
Congress determines Medicare’s authority to negotiate prescription meds. Thus far, Congress has chosen not to do so.
