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.
