Insurance Differences - Not Good for African Americans

African Americans are expected to spend almost five more years without insurance throughout the life course than non-Hispanic whites. If they had the same rates of insurance loss as whites, African Americans would spend 6.1 fewer years uninsured meaning that they would have the lowest uninsurance rates.
