Insurance / Medical Coverage Options

According to a 2000 Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Family Survey, 12% of Wisconsin residents were uninsured for at least part of the past 12 months in 1999.  Young adults were the most likely age group to be uninsured and African Americans were the most likely race/ethnic group to be uninsured.  [Source: the Insured and Uninsured in Wisconsin by Eleanor Cautley, http://www.ckfwi.org/ppts/insured-uninsured.ppt]
