Uninsured Ranks Are Growing

18. The number of uninsured increased 5.4 million between 2001 and 2005. (CBPP)

19. This growth of 5.4 million uninsured is primarily due to the erosion of employer-based insurance coverage. (CBPP)

20. Specifically, people with employment-based insurance dropped from 70% in 1997 to 59.5% in 2005. (NCHC)

21. Employers are increasingly relying on part-time and contract workers, who are not eligible for health insurance coverage. (NCHC)

22. Would you agree that employment is no guarantee of having health insurance?
