Abundant national research has shown that health insurance matters. It is a key determinant of access to health care. Those lacking health insurance are more likely to have poorer health status.

In 2008, one-in-five Arizona adults lacked health insurance coverage at least part of the year. For working age adults between 18 and 64, this number increased to 25 percent, or 950,500 Arizona adults.

Who are Arizona’s uninsured? What factors relate to whether someone does (or does not) have health insurance?  Where do the uninsured live?  And what effect does health coverage have on access to care, health status, and quality of life in our state?

These and other questions are addressed in SLHI’s report Health Insurance for Arizona Adults.
