Access
- Access to basic health care coverage remains an elusive goal for nearly 45 million Americans without insurance.
- A growing percentage of workers are losing their employer-based coverage.
- Many more millions of Americans are underinsured or have lost some of the benefits their health plans previously afforded.
- State budget crises have caused many states to limit covered benefits or curb efforts to expand Medicaid coverage to uninsured populations.
