A Wide Range of Health Insurance Topics, Including the Uninsured, Universal Health Care, and More
Rather than have one specific theme this time, we'll take a look at several different topics that have cropped up recently. The first we'll look at is a study by the Centers for Disease Control in which they said that the Southwest portion of the United States -- specifically Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma -- have the highest rates of uninsured residents in the nation. The study notes that nearly thirty percent of non-elderly adults and eighteen percent of children are uninsured across these states, a huge gap between these and other parts of the country such as the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
