New Mexico Without Health Insurance
According to a recently released report by the US Census Bureau, about 23% of New Mexico residents did not have health insurance coverage in 2007-2008. Not only is the rate of uninsured in New Mexico the second highest in the country, but the 23% that were uninsured in New Mexico according to the report was measured prior to the current economic downturn that we have experienced over the last couple years.
Nationally, just over 15% of the adult population is uninsured. Texas has the highest uninsured % in the country as about one in four Texas residents go without health insurance coverage.
