BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED
The Census Bureau released data on health insurance coverage and the uninsured for 2011 on September 12, 2012. Although there are four major government surveys that produce estimates of health insurance coverage, the Current Population Survey (CPS) is the most widely cited and receives national media attention. The percentage of people without health insurance in 2011 decreased from 2010. In 2011, the percentage was 15.7%, compared to 16.3% in 2010. During 2011, an estimated 48.61 million people were without insurance, a statistically significant decrease of 1.34 million from the estimated 49.95 million uninsured in 2010. Young adults (19-25) were the age group that experienced the greatest decline in the percentage without insurance over the past year, from 29.8% in 2010 to 27.7% in 2011. For the first time in the last 10 years, the rate of private insurance coverage did not decline in 2011. Employer-sponsored insurance continues to be the largest source of health insurance coverage in 2011, covering 55.1% of the population, which was not statistically different from 2010. The percentage of children under age 18 without health insurance in 2011 was 9.4%, stable from 2010. The uninsured rate for children has decreased significantly from 12.0% in 1999, when the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was beginning to be implemented. (U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services) Meanwhile, 45,000 to 48,000 deaths each year are attributed to a lack of health insurance in the U.S. A 2013 study found that about 25% of all bankruptcies filed by senior citizens were due to medical expenses, and 43% are forced to mortgage or sell their homes due to the same.
