Gains in health insurance coverage under Obamacare are starting to backslide, a new survey said.

The uninsured rate is now 15.5 percent, up from 12.7 percent in 2016, according to a survey released Friday from the left-leaning think tank Commonwealth Fund. The think tank said that coverage declines are likely due to actions by the Trump administration to weaken Obamacare, including cuts to ads and a shorter enrollment period.
