Final answer:
The specific statistic requested from Denavas-Walt, Proctor, and Smith (2012) regarding the percentage of full-time workers without health insurance in 2011 is not provided in the information available. The information given indicates a decline in the overall uninsured rate, not specifically among full-time workers, from 20.3% in 2012 to 8.6% in 2020 due to the ACA.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for a statistic that was presented by Denavas-Walt, Proctor, and Smith in 2012 regarding the percentage of full-time workers who lacked health insurance in 2011. However, this specific percentage is not directly provided in the provided references. What can be deduced from the given information is that after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), there has been a significant decrease in the number of uninsured individuals.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that those without insurance in the U.S. has declined from 20.3% in 2012 to 11.5% in 2016. In 2020, this further declined to 8.6% of the population without health insurance according to the Census. While this data provides useful context around the impacts of the ACA on health insurance coverage, it does not directly answer the question about the specific percentage of full-time workers without health insurance in 2011.
