This is important news for many in the United States, as reported in the 5/9/2004 Parade magazine.
"The number of Americans without health insurance is as big as the combined populations of 24 states -- nearly 44 million -- and that figure is growing. Medical bills now rank as a top cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Many of the uninsured work for small businesses that can't afford to provide health insurance. May 10-16 is Cover the Uninsured Week, co-chaired by former Presidents Ford and Carter. More than 1000 free events are planned coast to coast. If you lack coverage, call 1-888-538-4371 to learn about programs in your area. Or visit http://covertheuninsuredweek.org for more information."
