A new report by Families USA, claims 3 North Carolinians die each day cause they don’t have health insurance.
The Families USA report for Health Insurance in North Carolina makes 3 particular points about "not insured" adults:
* Nearly 3 working-age North Carolinians die each day due to lack of health insurance
* Between 2000 and 2006, the estimated number of adult age North Carolina residents who passed away cause they did not have health insurance was nearly 5,600.
* Across the country (in 2006) twice as many folk passed away from a lack of health insurance covergae as passed away from homicide.
In its 2002 report, the Institute of Medicine estimated that 18,000 adults nationwide passed away in 2000 cause they did not have health insurance. That estimate was later updated by the Urban Institute, which reported that at least 22,000 adults passed away in 2006 due to a lack of health insurance.
