Abstract |
This fact sheet uses data from the March Supplement of the 2009 Current Population Survey. It shows that direct-care workers under the age of 65 have much lower rates of insurance than the overall American population; roughly one out of four direct-care workers do not have coverage. Workers employed in home and community-based settings are even less likely to have coverage -- which, given the emerging system-wide shift toward those settings, is a troubling trend. |
