Question
Which statement about health insurance in the US is false?
 

Question options:

 

1) 

Going back to 1940, only about 10 percent of the US population had any health insurance
 

2) 

The share of the under-65 population with private health insurance rose until the 1970s and then plateaued—it remained virtually constant until the implementation of the Affordable Care Act
 

3) 

Early on, the health insurance market was dominated by Blue Cross plans, which practiced community rating in setting premiums
 

4) 

Measured in percentage points, the drop in the uninsured rate in the nonelderly population between 2013 and 2016 was larger than the increase in the share with private insurance
