Nelbo Foodtowe family resource management specialist in the Utah State University College of Family Life, at any point in the year there are 33 to 40 million Americans who are uninsured. More than half of these are children under the age of 18 and women. About 26 percent of all women of age are uninsured. Of this group, minorities are disproportionally i f represented, i Probably just as devastating are the underinsured, Rowe says. Many of these are families with handicapped children or children with a disability or 4 child-bearin- g chronic illness. Even what would normally seem to be adequate insurance illnessruns out over long-teres. Special support services such m as physical therapy, chairs, and other appliances often are not covered, Rowe says part of the! coverage for these people can come from Medicare and Medicaid programs instituted in the 1960s. Eligibility for Medicaid varies from state to state and even from person to person, but you generally must be at a very low income level to receive it. In Utah, for instance, a single mother with one child would have to earn less than $401 per month to receive Medicaid assistance. One of the more recent solutions to cover the uninsurables mentioned earlier has been pools. forming high-ris- k Rowe says 10 states have legislation which mandates the states health insurance companies to form these high-ris- k pools to share the cost of underwriting people usually considered uninsurable. She says specifics vary from state to state, but in general, they offer a specified maximum benefit (in Montana, $100,000 and in Connecticut, $1 million, for example). There also is a mBTimnm rate the insurance company can charge. The goal is to make insurance relatively aflong-ter- m wheel i fordable. As yet, there is no consensus over how states will finance deficits in this program. Some plan to fund the losses through general state revenues, while others factor it into the cost of doing business. That is, insurance providers and insurance consumers pay for the program. Rowe says the public and governmental sentiment year to year changes wavering between national from health insurance and shifting the burden to the private sector. The current trend seems to be encouraging employers to pay for benefits. A recent bill passed requires employers of 60 or more people to offer minimum health benefits to all employees who work 17.5 or more hours per We'ff Match oShopco red Meyer oBcn franfdin of d andS Any Stores Safe Trices !KMAlR?
