The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (53.9% then, 50.7% now; margin ±3.4pp).

Uninsured rose 3.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.8% to 24.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.
