The Uninsured

HSC research focuses on understanding how the number of uninsured in America will be affected by expansions in public coverage programs and attempts to make private insurance coverage more affordable and accessible to uninsured persons. Research also focuses on examining the extent of variation in uninsurance rates across communities and how policy and market factors contribute to this variation. A number of analyses also examine the health status of uninsured persons, and how the combination of being uninsured and in poor health contributes to problems in access to care.
