Why It Matters?
Healthcare is a basic human need for an indivudal to live the highest quality of life. Individuals without health insurace are less likely to have a primary care provider and may not be able to afford needed healthcare services or their medications. Not having insurance can also place an individual in the postion of not getting prevenetvie care and treatment for chronic illnessess. Rasing the percentage of individuals within the county that have health insurance can serve as a beginning to lower all health conditions within the county.
