 Income, Poverty, & Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2007
This annual report by the U.S. Census Bureau describes demographic
changes over the past year. The report is based on data compiled from
information collected in the 2008 Current Population Survey, Annual
Social and Economic Supplement.
For 2008, 15.3% of Americans lacked health insurance, which is about the same
percentage as in 2007.
However, the actual number of individuals without health insurance
declined slightly for the first time in seven years. The decline was
mostly due to greater availability of coverage for low-income children.
