About two Ohio residents die every day because they lack health insurance, according to a new report released today by Families USA, a health-care consumer advocacy group.
The group estimates that about 750 Ohio residents ages 18 to 64 died in 2006 because they were uninsured. Nearly 769,900 working-age Ohioans lacked insurance that year.
Previous national studies have shown that uninsured residents delay or forgo needed medical care and, as a result, are more likely to be diagnosed with disease in an advanced stage.
