Health Care Coverage: A Case Study

Health care is always going to be an important issue, especially when much of the population does not have coverage for one reason or another. A series of surveys were conducted in 2010 in Central Texas by the Central Texas Sustainability Project (CTSIP) to find out who had health coverage. They also asked follow up questions to those who do not have health care coverage to get the reasons why and to determine trends in their data. Table 1 was information found when the CTSIP asked people from different income groups whether they had health care coverage. As income increases, the likelihood of not having health care coverage decreases. Those with an income of $15,000 or less had a percentage of 29.7% reporting no health care coverage. It is slightly higher than this for the $15,000 to $25,000 range (29.9%), and slightly higher still in the $25,000 to $35,000 range (32%). Then there is a sudden drop to 18.2% for those with an income of $35,000 to $55,000. From there, the percentages decrease further. The next table represents several reasons for not having health care and the percentages of those responses. The response given the most for not having health care coverage was because they could not afford it, with a percentage of approximately 32%. This information most likely represents the responses of those with the lowest income level. Other reasons include claims that the person is healthy enough to not need it, their employer not offering coverage, being self-employed and the cost being
