The Problem of the Uninsured In the United States according to the latest Census Bureau report, there were more than 41 million+ uninsured Americans in the year 2001. Eight out of 10 were in working families. In most cases, the main earners in these families either had jobs that offered no health coverage or their premiums were unaffordable. Because uninsured Americans cannot afford needed medical care, they live sicker and die younger than Americans with health coverage.
For example: Uninsured women who develop breast cancer are twice as
likely to die than insured women with the same diagnosis.
Uninsured men are nearly twice as likely to be
diagnosed at a late stage of colon cancer than insured men.
Uninsured children who need medical or surgical care
are four times more likely to go without care than
insured children with the same needs
Uninsured children are almost five times more likely
to be unable to receive needed dental care
Uninsured children are four-and-one-half times more
likely to do without needed prescription medicines or
eyeglasses
Uninsured children are more than one-and-one-half
times more likely to be missing some or all of their
immunizations
The number of uninsured Americans is rising for several reasons: First, the economy has slowed and more people are unemployed and without health coverage. Second, health care costs are rising at double-digit annual rates, making health coverage increasingly unaffordable for employers as well as individual consumers Third, as states experience fiscal shortfalls, they
are cutting back on public health coverage programs, such as Medicaid, causing some low-income families to lose health coverage. Given these trends, the problem of the uninsured
promises to grow worse, not better, in the coming years.
Studies Say Health Care Costs Will Continue to Rise and Number of Uninsured to Grow
Fifty percent increase in premium costs and 10 million more uninsured predicted
Source(s): John MacDonald, Hartford Courant (May 29)
Two new studies project that health insurance premiums will increase by more than 50 percent by 2006, at least 10 million people will become uninsured within three years, and employers will continue shifting costs to workers, reports the Hartford Courant. The research comes from the Center for Studying Health System Change and the National Coalition on Health Care, a business alliance working to improve the nation's health care system. "These increases will make it more difficult for businesses-especially smaller or less profitable firms-to continue to provide health coverage for their employees," the coalition's study reported. Another study from the Commonwealth Fund found growing numbers of young adults who lose coverage after graduating from college joining the ranks of the uninsured. Four out of 10 adults aged 19 to 29 can expect to be uninsured at some time after graduation, the study found.
