People Need Good Health Insurance

A recent study has shown that when Ohio residents buy individual health insurance or through other groups (other than employers) they usually don't have very good health insurance coverage.

The report shows, "We need to not only insure more people, but we also need good health insurance," Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said.

Besides the 47 million uninsured Americans, the Commonwealth Fund reported this week that another 25 million have inadequate coverage, while still spending a disproportionally high amount on health insurance.

Most Americans have group coverage, but the individual health insurance market of 27 million is growing as employers drop their health plans or hire more independent contractors without benefits
