Indicator Profile of Health Insurance Coverage
Why Is This Important?
Persons with health insurance were more likely than persons without health insurance to have a regular source of primary health care, and were more likely to have routine preventive care. Persons without coverage have often delayed seeking needed care and found services difficult to afford.Percentage of Persons Who Lacked Health Insurance Coverage by Ethnicity, Utah, 2008
