Thu, 23 Aug 2007

Approximately a million adults in New York lacked health insurance cover in the year of 2005, according to the health department in the city. However, most of this group were employed.

Those people most likely to be uninsured were adults aged between 18 and 24, many of whom were male and Hispanic. Approximately 700,000 of the million were employed.

According to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, approximately one in five of the eight million people in New York also lacked a regular doctor, including many who had health insurance .

Health officials were apparently puzzled by why so many employed people were uninsured.
