Key Resources on Health Coverage and the Uninsured
from The Kaiser Family Foundation

The U.S. Census Bureau released its annual update on health insurance coverage and the number of uninsured Americans this week. The survey showed that the number of uninsured Americans increased by 1.3 million to 46.6 million for 2005. The percentage of people with employer and non-group coverage fell, while the share of the population with public coverage held steady. The percentage of children who are uninsured increased for the first time in recent years . The Foundation collected some of its key recent resources on health insurance coverage and the uninsured, including a new issue brief, “Who are the Uninsured? A Consistent Profile Across National Surveys,” comparing the total number of uninsured from three major national surveys, demonstrating that these estimates are actually more consistent than what is often perceived.
