More than 40 million Americans do not have health insurance. As a result of the recent healthcare reform, 94 percent of all citizens and legal residents below Medicare age eventually will have access to health insurance, a big jump from the current 83 percent.
Execution will be challenging, and we rely on our network of partners to help guide the nation through a challenging period of transition, continuing efforts to expand coverage to those still uninsured.
