Number of Middle-Class Uninsured Increases

Tuesday April 25, 2006
A Commonwealth Fund study released this week shows that the number of moderate-to-middle income Americans without health insurance has increased dramatically since 2001. 28% of workers earning $20,000-40,000 per year in 2001 were uninsured, compared with 41% in 2005. Researchers feel that this jump in the number of uninsured middle-class Americans is due to employers dropping health coverage or charging more for coverage than workers can afford.
