PHMC publishes report on uninsured in southeastern Pennsylvania
As the Supreme Court considers the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, health care reform and the future of the law have come to the forefront of national conversations. The passage of the ACA in March 2010 and the subsequent debate of the law have increased the visibility of the growing uninsured population in this country.
Using data from the Community Health Data Base’s 2010 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey, Public Health Management Corporation has published an article that examines demographic and socio-economic characteristics of adults ages 18-64 who are uninsured in the region and also looks at the health disparities between insured and uninsured adults in this age group.
