The Impact of Uninsured Americans on Rural Populations
The essay discusses the impact of the increasing number of uninsured Americans on policy makers, service providers, and families. The lack of health insurance coverage can lead to a number of negative outcomes, including an inability to access needed care, financial insecurity, and even death. The rising cost of health care and declining availability of employer-sponsored health insurance are two major factors contributing to the increasing number of uninsured Americans. In addition, the Trump administration’s policies have contributed to the increase in the number of uninsured Americans.
