Millions are UninsuredA study by Families USA reported that nearly 82 million people, one third of the U.S. population younger than 65, lacked health insurance at some point over the past two years. In Texas, 43.3 percent of the non-elderly population does not have health insurance, the highest rate in the country. New Mexico, California, Nevada, Louisiana, Arizona, Mississippi and Oklahoma all have over 35 percent of their population uninsured. The executive director of Families USA, Ron Pollack, said “fast-rising health care costs, a soft labor market in which employers are passing more health care costs to workers and reductions in state safety net programs are resulting in substantial increases in the number of uninsured.” Lack of health insurance is associated with poorer health, earlier death and delayed and inadequate medical care. The numbers are higher for minorities. Sixty percent of Hispanics and 43 percent of blacks were uninsured, compared to 23.5 percent among whites. Read the article.
