NU Online News Service, March 5, 2003, 12:57 p.m. EDT – Health insurers will team up with unions, employer groups, health care provider groups and other organizations from March 10 to March 16 to support Cover the Uninsured Week.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Princeton, N.J., has organized the week in an effort to draw attention to the plight of the 41 million U.S. residents who lack either public or private health coverage.
Organizers note that about 80% of uninsured U.S. residents are in working families.
