Why is this Important?
Access to affordable, quality health care positively impacts individual health and well-being. Health insurance is the most common means of accessing affordable health care.
Uninsured individuals may be unable to access affordable health insurance. Lack of health insurance can result in poor health outcomes and create financial burdens, further impacting health and well-being. [HNC2030]
