Average
Health Insurance Premium $922 Higher Due to Healthcare Costs of
Uninsured
Families USA issued a June 2005 report showing that people
with health insurance from their employers pay $922 in higher
premiums on average due to the mounting costs of caring for the
increasing numbers of people with no health care coverage.
More than 45 million working families do not have health care
coverage. Over 10 million children cannot see a doctor when
they are sick because their families don't have any health care
coverage. Half of all bankruptcies in America are due to the
inability to pay for a serious illness. This is a national
crisis which needs a national solution. Without a national
solution, costs for everyone will continue to escalate out of
control.
Read more below, and look for more information about efforts to
help fix the growing national healthcare crisis in the coming
months.
