How can we approach this uninsured problem?
[William E. Gibson, "Immigrants a quarter of uninsured," The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, The Wichita Eagle, 14 June 2005.]
Further evidence that the uninsured will not be successfully addressed by simple approaches such as expanding Medicaid is seen in this report:
Immigrants made up one-quarter of people in the United States who lacked health insurance in 2003, up from one-fifth a decade earlier, the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute found.
We already know that the uninsured include a portion of wealthy individuals, and now a full quarter are revealed as immigrants. Clearly, this is a problem that will require numerous solutions targeted to the needs of specific populations.
