New study: “18.2 Million Individuals at Increased Risk of Severe COVID-19 Illness Are Un- or Underinsured”

June 17, 2020 By Adam Gaffney in US Health Policy

We had a study published last week in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, which found that some 18 million people who are at increased risk of severe COVID-19, whether because of age or chronic illness, are uninsured or underinsured. Not surprisingly, these individuals are disproportionately people of color and those with low incomes. It was covered in Newsweek, Modern Healthcare, Marketwatch, and some other outlets.
