Exhibit 7.3: Health Insurance Coverage of the Nonelderly by Poverty Level, 2004
As income decreases, the likelihood of being uninsured increases (18.3% of those with moderate incomes vs. 36.5% of the poor were uninsured in 2004) and the likelihood of having employer-sponsored coverage decreases (65.9% of those with moderate incomes vs. 15.0% of the poor had such coverage in 2004). Because the Near Poor are less likely to qualify for public insurance and have decreased access to employer-sponsored insurance, almost a third (28.5%) of this group was uninsured in 2004.
 
 

Notes: Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding. The federal poverty level was $19,307 for a family of four in 2004. Medicaid also includes the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Other Public includes Medicare, military-related coverage, and state programs other than Medicaid and SCHIP.
