The Cost of the Uninsured

Interesting report from the Center for American Progress Action Fund on the cost of the uninsured (based on an update of data originally published in 2005 by FamiliesUSA).  The data suggest that 8% of healthcare premiums (or $410 individual, $1100 family) is the result of providers shifting costs to the insured in order to provide care for the uninsured.
