Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. More than 1 in 10 health care workers do not have their own health insurance. That’s according to research from the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health and the Minnesota Population Center. Lynn Blewett, a University health policy professor explains. <clip: “Overall, 11 percent of all workers … living in hospitals and residential care facilities.”> Blewett adds, however, that health care workers at nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and facilities for those with mental health disabilities have even higher rates of uninsurance, at 22 to 23 percent. <clip: “The highest rates of uninsured are for those workers … they have significantly high rates of coverage.”> For John Finnegan and Public Health Moment, I’m Mark Engebretson.
