  • Title: Simple truths about America's uninsured.
    Author: Hoffman CB.
    Journal: Am J Nurs; 2007 Jan; 107(1):40-3, 46-7. PubMed ID: 17202873.
    Abstract:
    Nurses deal with the fallout of a nation with more than 46 million uninsured. Affecting the patients and families they care for, the hospitals and clinics they work in and manage, and the communities they serve, nurses have a credible standing from which to debunk any myths about who the uninsured are, why they are uninsured, and the difference that health insurance makes in their health and well-being. This article on the uninsured and health insurance coverage among low-income Americans outlines key facts about the uninsured and the primary cause of the problem--the affordability of health insurance.
