With the number of uninsured people exceeding forty-one million in 2001, insuring the uninsured is again a major policy issue. This analysis establishes benchmarks for the inevitable debate over the cost of expanding coverage: How much is being spent on care for the uninsured, and where does the money come from? This information is essential for assessing how much new money will be required for expanded coverage, how much can be reallocated from existing sources, and how a new financing system would redistribute the burden of subsidizing care for the uninsured from private to public sources.
2001年，未参保人数超过4100万，为未参保者提供保险再次成为一个重大政策问题。本分析为关于扩大医保覆盖范围成本的必然辩论确立了基准：在为未参保者提供医疗服务上花费了多少，资金从何而来？这些信息对于评估扩大医保覆盖范围需要多少新资金、可以从现有来源重新分配多少资金，以及新的融资系统将如何把补贴未参保者医疗服务的负担从私人来源重新分配到公共来源至关重要。
