Press Release Summary: By looking at the history fo the US we see there the population of uninsured americans is growing at a rapid pace. Almost 20% of americans are currently uninsured.
Press Release Body: US History on the Demand for Health Care: The percentage of Americans who are uninsured was 15.6 percent in 2003. This was the highest percentage of people uninsured since 1998. The key reason is that employment-based insurance coverage has been slipping, which has several underlying causes. Health insurance costs continued to climb at double-digit rates in 2003. The growing cost of health coverage, and decisions by many businesses to increase employee premiums, deductibles or co-payments, made it harder for workers to continue to afford insurance coverage for themselves or their dependents. In addition, some small businesses no longer offer health insurance coverage to their employees. Finally, unemployment rates remained well above the pre-recession levels averaging 6.0 percent in 2003 which prevented many from having access to job-based insurance. The share of Americans with Medicaid coverage rose by 0.7 percentage points in 2003, primarily due to increases in the number of low-income people without private health insurance coverage. As an entitlement program, federal funding for Medicaid automatically rises during hard times when the need for program services mounts, which ensures that the program is responsive to downturns in the economy. Data released today by the Census Bureau show that the number of uninsured Americans stood at 45.8 million in 2004, an increase of 800,000 people over the number uninsured in 2003 (45.0 million). The percentage of people without health insurance, 15.7 percent in 2004, was not significantly different from the 15.6 percent rate in 2003. The percentage jumped again in 2005 reports the National Coalition on Health Care (NCHC) to 16% (sixteen) of all Americans are without health insurance or health care provisions.
