Uninsured Data Released
The U.S. Census Bureau has released new data on this country’s number of uninsured as well as the number of persons living in poverty. In a news release, CHA’s President and CEO said: “The news today that 45.7 million people are uninsured, 1.3 million less than in 2006, while positive, should not be viewed as current progress toward solving this crisis.”BHS Seeks Mission Integration Director
