Californians Facing Health Insurance Crisis with 1 in 4 Uninsured
April 14, 2010
A new study done in California shows that almost 1 in every 4 residents lacks health insurance. It is a bold reminder that a significant portion of our population, even in a highly industrialized state, is going without what most consider a basic necessity. The Center for Health Policy Research at UCLA released the findings of a 2009 study that shows over 8 million Californians under the age of 65 are without health insurance, one of the highest rates in the country. The double whammy of a bad economy and continuing layoffs as well as the high price of individual policies has contributed to this alarming figure. Being unemployed, or even underemployed, leaves our citizens with very few options and many are hoping that the current health care reform will be worthy.
