Description

The United States is one of only a handful of developed countries that does not provide health insurance coverage for all of its citizens. As health care costs continue to rise, the number of uninsured continues to grow, now reaching 44 million American citizens or 14% of the population. Yet, there is great variation at the state level in the number of uninsured, with the Upper Midwestern states having consistently low rates of uninsurance and higher rates of health insurance. Below is a review of the mixed implications of proposals by President Bush and the Democratic presidential candidates to reduce the number of individuals without insurance in the Upper Midwestern states of Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
