America's Uninsured Crisis - Institute of Medicine Report Available Free Online
The goal of this book is to inform the health reform policy debate--in 2009--with an up-to-date assessment of the research evidence. This report addresses three key questions:
*What are the dynamics driving downward trends in health insurance coverage?
*Is being uninsured harmful to the health of children and adults?
*Are insured people affected by high rates of uninsurance in their communities?
