In Their Own Words: The Uninsured Talk About Living Without Health Insurance


This report profiles eight families without health insurance. Their experiences deepen our knowledge about why so many are uninsured and how not having health coverage affects the lives and well-being of the entire family. A unique family story unfolds in each chapter -- as told in their own words -- weaving health problems, financial insecurity, and health system barriers into the full context of the family's life.
