1996 Health Status Survey - Health Insurance Coverage

Health care in America is financed primarily through a mix of public and private insurance, but many still lack financial access to basic services and financial protection against the high costs of illness. Utah has recently initiated several health insurance policy reforms to expand coverage to uninsured populations, and to promote continuity of coverage. Health Insurance Coverage describes the health insurance status of Utahns in 1996, based on data from the 1996 Utah Health Status Survey.
