The Kaiser Family Foundation produced an interactive slide show explaining how the Affordable Care
Act can help the 47 million uninsured Americans obtain coverage. “In 2012, 47.3
million nonelderly people were uninsured. Lack of health insurance coverage
affects many groups of people, including both workers and non-workers, people
of all ages and geographic locations, and people with a range of health
conditions. Through its coverage expansions, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has
the potential to reach a broad range of groups. The interactive tool below
examines how the ACA may affect various groups of uninsured people by analyzing
how many are uninsured, the main reasons why they lack coverage, and how they
may gain coverage under the ACA.” Check it out:
Utahns be aware that Gov. Herbert has so far refused to
expand Medicaid, greatly restricting the number of uninsured Utahns who will
have access to affordable health insurance. We all pay for those who are
uninsured through higher insurance premiums.
Thanks to the excellent Squared Away Blog for information
about the slide show.
