AZ Uninsured down, FL Uninsured up

September 26th, 2005

I'm still not sure why Red Nova, a science & space website, continues (to pay) to put up these interesting articles on the uninsured, hospital management, the healthcare sector, etc.

In this article, they highlight a state policy difference between Arizona and Florida. Arizona has effectively reduced its uninsured rate from 24.5% to 17% in seven years by putting in $$ to expand health insurance, getting docs to agree to provide discounts, and letting county & local officials develop discount programs.

In the same time period, Florida's uninsured rate went from 17% to 19%.

what the article doesn't address is how did AZ pay for this?
