Sally Pipes on the uninsured
["Myths of the uninsured," NCPA Daily Policy Digest, 14 September 2004.]
Pacific Research Institute president Sally Pipes explains some of the finer points of the uninsured data in a recent Investor's Business Daily editorial:
- A fourth of the uninsured are under 24, and half are under 35 years of age.
- Three-quarters of the uninsured remain so for less than a year.
- Americans without health insurance spend roughly the same amount of their own money on health care ($242) as do the fully insured ($211).
- One in three uninsured live in housholds with incomes of more than $50,000, one in seven live in households with incomes above $75,000.
Pipes will be speaking at a Flint Hills event this Fall on drug reimportation. Please check back here and at our homepage, www.flinthills.org, as we will be posting more information about the event soon.
