Abstract:

Several policymakers have proposed the enactment of tax credits to help the uninsured purchase coverage. To find out what such a tax credit would mean to low-income people who are uninsured, in 2001, Families USA gathered and analyzed information about insurance plans in 25 states. This 2002 update includes information for all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
