I guess as long as the Big Pharma and GOP special interests are raking in the mega bucks, it's OK. Any change would be socialist, naturally. Healthy workers are such a nuisance.
- More than 40% of middle income Americans went without insurance
- Above 40% was only 28% in 2001!!
- 20% of working adults paying off medical debt
- 60% of uninsured adults with chronic illnesses skip medicine because they can't afford it
"The jump in uninsured among those with modest incomes is alarming, particularly at a time when our economy has been improving," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis, who helped write the study.
"For an uninsured person who is unlucky enough to get sick, it is easy to see how quickly they can fall into a downward spiral of debt, forgone care, and poorer health," Sara Collins, Commonwealth Fund senior program officer, said in a statement.
