"There are more than 45 million uninsured people in the United States. Just who these people are might surprise you. Eighty percent of them are employed, or live in a home where a family member is employed. Their plight has nothing to do with a slow economy. According to a recent study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, there has been a persistently high number of uninsured over the past 15 years, regardless of the country’s economic climate."
Mary Sue Coleman, president of the University of Michigan and co-chair of the Institute of Medicine’s Committee (IOM) on the Consequences of Uninsurance, which distributed those findings, recently spoke to faculty, staff, and students about the study as part of the Future Makers Lecture Series at Emory University.
