The Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation (CHRT) released a report examining the state of health care coverage in Michigan compared to the U.S. broadly. The report examines data on the uninsured, the publicly and privately insured, premiums, cost-sharing, the health care safety net, and health reform. The authors found that the percent of Michigan's population that was uninsured in 2007-2008, 10.7 percent, was lower than the national average of 14.8 percent for that period.
From the report: The Center for Health Care Research & Transformation presents Cover Michigan 2010, a report of health care coverage in the U.S. and Michigan, including data on the uninsured, publicly and privately insured, premiums and cost-sharing, the health care safety net and health reform. Cover Michigan 2010 reports the most recent comparative data available for the U.S. and Michigan: 2008 data for the U.S. and 2007/2008 two-year pooled data for Michigan. Michigan data are pooled to ensure an adequate sample size; some demographic data are reported as three-year pooled averages. Where possible, more recent data are included.
