Study Results: Hoosiers Dying Due to Lack of Health Coverage

It's no surprise that the number of America's uninsured is at an all-time high, and rising. Each year, more Americans struggle with the often insurmountable problem of access to affordable healthcare. Their struggles range from going into medical debt to not being able to receive appropriate care at all, which too often results in serious medical problems or even death.

Families USA - an organization promoting high quality, affordable health care for Americans - recently generated first-ever state estimates on the results of a lack of health insurance. The Indiana portion of the report, entitled Dying for Coverage in Indiana, indicates that over a six-year period, 3,100 Hoosiers died because they lacked health coverage.
