The Uninsured

Nearly one in five Oklahomans live and work every day without health insurance coverage.

The rising number of uninsured Americans is a problem that impacts everyone. Lack of access to quality, affordable health care means serious health and financial risks for the uninsured and contributes to the problem of rising health care costs for everyone. Currently, 14.6 percent of Americans are uninsured. In Oklahoma, the statistics are even higher at 18 percent.

Keeping health care affordable and reducing the number of the uninsured are the top priorities of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma and the Blues system nationwide. Learn more about the latest issue of the uninsured from the links to resources below.
