Two new United Hospital Fund reports provide important data about New Yorkers and their health insurance status:
• “Characteristics and Health Insurance Coverage of New York's Noncitizens” looks at similarities and differences in health insurance coverage patterns, not just between citizens (14.6 million) and noncitizens (1.9 million), but also, where possible, between documented (1.2 million) and undocumented (0.7 million) noncitizens.
• “Health Insurance Coverage in New York, 2006-2007,” an annual chartbook, provides an invaluable snapshot of the uninsured in New York—detailing income, employment status, age, and other demographic information, tracking the coverage distribution among workers and low-income New Yorkers, and estimating the number of uninsured New Yorkers who are eligible for public health insurance.
The reports are intended to inform current state and federal discussions about expanding insurance coverage. Both are available free of charge from the Fund’s website.
