Health Care

Is there broad access to health insurance as protection against income interruption and asset depletion from medical bills?

There is no greater threat to a family’s financial security than the expenses of a major medical emergency or treatment of a chronic illness. Access to health care provides individuals and families with a safety net that complements their asset ownership. Yet today, 45 million Americans do not have health insurance. While federal solutions have been debated for decades, states have and will continue to have a role in widening access to those who have trouble finding coverage.
