Abstract:

Lack of health insurance coverage for low-income adults remains a pressing policy challenge. In 2002, low-income adults who were uninsured accounted for nearly half of the uninsured population. This report provides an overview of nonelderly adult eligibility for and enrollment in Medicaid and state-funded coverage, nationally and in 13 study states.
