The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) commissioned researchers Amy Davidoff of the Department of Public Policy of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Genevieve Kenney, of the Health Policy Center at The Urban Institute, to document the prevalence and impact of selected chronic health conditions among the uninsured.1 Using the most recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics' National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the researchers quantified the number of uninsured adults with chronic conditions, overall and by race and ethnicity, and examined whether they experience gaps in their access to care. Researchers further examined access problems faced by uninsured adults with different chronic health problems. The results are startling.
